Minnesota Muslim Immigrants Take On Amazon
How's that cheap imported labor working out for you, Amazon?

How a group of Somalis became leaders in the fight to change a tech behemoth.
The protesters brandished signs that said, “Safe jobs now!” and “Respect the East African community.”
The organization presiding over the event was not a union but a fledgling organization called the Awood Center, whose motto was “Building East African Worker Power.” (Awood is the Somali word for power.) In the middle of the crowd was a portable PA system, and the first speaker received an ecstatic welcome: US representative Ilhan Omar, who had just weeks before become the first Somali American elected to Congress, promptly led the group in singing “Aan Isweheshano Walaalayaal” (“Let’s Get Together With Our Brothers and Sisters”), a classic Somali solidarity anthem.
“I’ve had many jobs,” the congresswoman told the crowd. “I cleaned offices, I worked on assembly lines, I was even a security guard once. I’ve had jobs where we did not have enough breaks, where we used to try to go to the bathroom just so that we could pray.” The East African community, she said, demanded better. “Amazon doesn’t work if you don’t work,” she said. “It’s about time we make Amazon understand that.”
Ha ha ha Amazon! Good luck with your nigger mudslime "workers." I hear that they 'need' to pray 10 times a day. I'm sure that will be conducive to hitting those efficiency targets.
