Killer Mike says it is better for Americans to hope that Amazon workers form unions in their warehouses, because when workers are treated like trash … the shit ends up at the customers’ doorsteps.
The Atlanta rapper and activist joined us on “TMZ Live” Thursday and told us why he is going to an Amazon center in Alabama to support union efforts there and across the country. It will be put to a vote in ‘Bama next week.
Killer Mike says the poor working conditions that Amazon workers say they are facing – such as being forced to pee in bottles, supposedly – make Amazon’s deliveries bad that will only get worse. For him, the way to better treatment of workers is unionization.
But, it’s not just great for employees … watch the clip, Mike explains why it’s potentially a big win for the general public. A move he believes is not only a victory for them, but it will also be worth it for the public. Everyone wants joy and happiness, right?
Mike will be in Bessemer, AL Friday with Sen. Bernie Sanders and Danny Glover to visit a new Amazon call center, where workers are trying to organize. Amazon is against the union and there have been tons of protests outside that warehouse and others across the country.
Killer Mike tells us why it is an important time for all Americans … and he has a message for the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos.
