At the largest Amazon air hub in the world, located in Kentucky, workers are attempting to unionize in response to inadequate wage gains this year. Workers at the site have expressed frustration with being cross-trained in many roles and the expectation of operating dangerous, heavy machinery without any additional compensation. Additionally, this air hub experiences extremely high turnover rates with employees quitting, which is related to the low pay and demanding hours. In response to this unionization effort, Amazon has continued its aggressive, anti-union campaign, and the union organizers at this Kentucky air hub have already filed two unfair labor practice charges with the NLRB against the company for violating labor laws.
