Four thousand workers at a North Carolina Amazon warehouse are voting February 10-15 on whether to unionize with Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity & Empowerment.

RDU1, in the town of Garner, outside Raleigh, would be the second unionized Amazon warehouse in the United States.

It’s an ambitious campaign. The workers are organizing across racial and ethnic divides, through constant turnover, in deeply hostile terrain. At 2.4 percent, North Carolina’s union density is the lowest in the country.

This is a frightening time for immigrant workers. President-elect Donald Trump ran on the slogan “mass deportations now,” and has appointed a team of anti-immigrant hardliners. The leadership of the Democratic Party has lurched to the right on this issue, adopting Trump’s rhetoric about “securing the border,” and embracing core Republican policies.

Donald Trump y sus cómplices quieren que la gente trabajadora nos miremos con desconfianza y que nos dividamos por diferencias menores. Los prejuicios que fomentan contra inmigrantes latinos, las personas negras, y la comunidad LGBTQ ocultan su verdadera agenda: pisotear a los derechos y el poder que ha ganado la gente organizada.
