Now Two Prince George's (Maryland) "Amazonians" Say They Were Fired -- For Union Organizing. Like Wild-Fire, It Is... Spreading.

This time, at Prince George's, DMD99, in Maryland, the Chicago based collective, Amazonians United, is the entity representing Amazon workers' efforts, on the ground.

To be clear, there is no conflict with ALU, it is just a case of who all started first, and where. Of course, we will cover this one closely, as it progresses.

Here's the WaPo, just a few moments ago:

. . .Amazonians United -- a rank-and-file organization that has also organized at warehouses in Sacramento, Chicago and New York -- said that the workers at the DMD9 delivery station in Upper Marlboro were terminated for their roles in collecting signatures for two petitions and encouraging others to participate in a walkout in March.

Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for the company, said in a statement to The Washington Post that those allegations were without merit. “Whether an employee supports a certain cause or group doesn’t factor into the difficult decision of whether or not to let someone go,” she added. . . .

"You can blow out a candle -- but you can't blow out. . . a bonfire. . . once it begins to catch, the flames will go much higher. . . ." -- Peter Gabriel, "Biko".
