Justin Rashad Long was fired last month from Amazon after speaking out about the work conditions in the Staten Island warehouse. Rashad, along with other Amazon workers claim that the long hours and work conditions are dangerous. Two days after Rashad was fired, Amazon abandoned their plan to move to Long Island City due to resistance from labor unions and concern for a fair process for workers. Rashad claims that his getting fired was in retaliation for his activism, and is filing charges for unfair labor practices.
