      By the looks of it and how the IBT Berlin-Rosen PR social media posts, yes.

        Does anyone know if Randy Korgan received a bonus for the successful strike at Amazon?

            I am not sure but I would think that ALU-IBT L1 is critically analyzing their structure test. Where they succeeded and where they need work at.

          I’m confused, is the strike over ? If so what did it accomplish? I believe it was a good show and brought some attention to just how bad Amazon treats its employees but why end it so quickly?

          Did that guy in New York who got arrested know it was just a show? He had some real balls putting himself in the cross hairs! May be he should run for O’Brien’s job! Watch out Sean, he didn’t just talk tough he put his ass in jail for the union.

            The workers took action at places that are organized, with support from most other locals around the country to amplify the action and message. More organizing is possible as a result. Given the size of Amazon, it is unrealistic to think a few places can strike indefinitely. But some short strikes make sense to build momentum. Well done first step.

              Jeff Bezos must be having double thoughts!

                  Depends. The DSP drivers will probably get their hours reduced by their respective managers. The Amazon warehouse workers yes but they will get a fresh round of union busters talking to them and probably others that did not participate in the picket lines.

                Thousands of Amazon workers have ended their days-long strike against the company, according to the Teamsters union. But tensions persist, with the union saying its efforts aren’t over.

                  After Jeff Bezos's dinner with the Donald and Elon Musk is SOB going to call up the Donald and have a private dinner too?

                  In that Tucker Carlson podcast, SOB revealed that the IBT has a five year plan to organize

                    Not really a plan, more of a concept.

                  They have no competent people in the IBT Org. Dept. To take on Amazon. They're a bunch of morons. Most of the Organizers they hired are not out of the rank and file.

                      Thousands of Amazon drivers ended their week-long strike on Thursday while an estimated 5,000 Starbucks workers ended a five-day strike on Christmas Day.
