Gerald Bryson needs our help
Amazon illegally fired our co-founder, Gerald Bryson, and he needs our help.
In March 2020, Gerald Bryson was illegally fired for protesting Amazon's mishandling of Covid-19 and the firing of his coworker: organizer and Amazon Labor Union President, Christian Smalls.
Since his termination from Amazon’s JFK8 facility, Gerald has organized with the Congress of Essential Workers and the Amazon Labor Union—but he is still left without employment as he awaits a court settlement on his wrongful termination case. This is what big corporations do: They break the law, then use their money to delay justice, until regular folks have no choice but to settle for less than they’re owed. Gerald needs our help to fight back.
If you’re able, please show your support and chip in to Gerald’s Go Fund Me today. Any amount helps: https://gofund.me/51e9bead
As a single father raising a 9-year-old son, Gerald needs financial support to pay his bills, support his family, and keep up the fight for workers’ rights.
This is what solidarity is all about. We’re counting on this team to show up for Gerald as he continues the fight for better wages, better benefits, and better working conditions at Amazon.
Solidarity Forever,
Amazon Labor Union team
