Strikes are not ableist, but Amazon is. Take a look at how they handle disabilities:
- Amazon was sued in a federal ADA violation for treating bathroom breaks as “time theft” and firing an employee with Crohn’s.
- Amazon’s denial of disability benefits caused the death of an injured HIV positive employee.
- Amazon fought to avoid having to make its website ADA compliant.
- Amazon’s working conditions cause and exacerbate permanent injuries and disabilities, followed by homelessness.
- And hey what's this? Amazon fires this guy for hurting his back on the job.
- And he's far from alone
- Oh let's not forget the time they denied someone THE ABILITY TO TAKE THEIR MEDICATION
- And their pet companies aren't any better ...
In short, don't scab. If you cross a picket line, you’re helping corporations get away with these kinds of abuses.
As always, the most vulnerable people bear the brunt of your inability to go 2 gd days without buying shit from their employer.
