The International Amazon Workers Voice, published by the World Socialist Web Site, serves as a platform to link Amazon workers in the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America in a unified fight for workers' rights and socialism.
The trillions hoarded by the billionaires must be expropriated and used to meet social needs: secure, well-paid jobs for all, healthcare, housing, education, and the eradication of hunger and poverty.
Mass layoffs at Amazon, UPS, Paramount Global, and in the auto industry reveal the corporate offensive to cut jobs and weaponize AI against the working class.
The move marks an accelerating jobs bloodbath, with rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence being weaponized to eliminate entire sections of the workforce.
Amazon announced last week that it would be cutting thousands of employees as part of an ongoing series of layoffs at the tech giant. The move follows a previous series of massive job cuts at the company and in the technology sector as a whole.
The International Amazon Workers Voice is assisting workers in the building of a network of interconnected rank-and-file committees of Amazon and logistics workers, as well as autoworkers, educators, and workers in other key sections of industry.

Whatever the outcome of the RWDSU re-vote, workers face the urgent necessity of establishing independent, rank-and-file organizations to fight for their interests.
An inquiry, organized by workers and not corrupt union bureaucrats, is needed to arm workers with the knowledge they need to defend themselves and go on the offensive against the regime of corporate dictatorship in the workplaces which makes these deaths inevitable.
Workers must fight for workers’ power and workers’ control over production, harnessing the surplus created by new technologies to improve, not lower, the standard of living for the masses.
“The path forward lies in organizing independently—through the creation of rank-and-file committees democratically controlled by nurses themselves—to wage a genuine fight for your demands.”
For those reading this in Canada thinking this explosion happened in the US and thankfully it cannot happen here, they should look soberly at what our current prime minister is doing without any real pushback, and our experience at the National Steel Car plant in Hamilton, Ontario.
