Together we are strong! Only together we are able to move Amazon! ---- Dear Amazonians in
Poland and France, ---- Your colleagues from Germany are sending you solidarity greetings
and wish you success with the action "Safe Package" during the Amazon-Prime-Week! ----
This week extensive strikes and actions have been and are taking place in Germany in
various FCs. On the 12th of July we also called for "Safe Package" before we went on
strike a couple of hours later. Thereby we want to underline that we are part of an
international movement! ---- Further "Safety Days" will follow, other FCs will join us,
too. Let‘s continue in a coordinated manner. Our payment may be quiet different, but one
issue unites us: Our working conditions! We are exposed to uniform standards, processes,
work instructions. And we do not want only to get a decent payment, but we also want work
under healthy working conditions! This common claims constitute the base for common action.
Let‘s keep on fighting together for healthy work and fair payment! We are looking forward
to common actions - or even common strikes!

On the night of July 13 in the city center street. St. Martin hung a banner for profits in
the corporate divisions Amazon, as part of the corporate solidarity with the workers.
Photo billboard placed on your website Poznan group of Manufacture: ---- In other areas of
the city there are also processing billboards advertising Amazon: ---- At. 11 took place
while the press conference organized by the Workers' Initiative CMOs operating in the
Amazon on developments in relation and requests of employees. Employees are now working on
a 11.5-hour shifts for low wages, in connection with the ongoing hot time due to special
sales, where Jeff Bezos earns millions more. ---- Information from OZZ Amazon Initiative:
---- International action "Safe Pack" in the Amazon. We work safely and we demand rises!
This week Amazon Prime celebrated Day - one of the biggest sell-off during the year. For
the company, this means another record sales (US analysts estimate that Amazon sold last
year, the day the goods worth 600 million dollars) for employees extra days of work, leave
frozen by the first half of July, changes after 11.5 hours, fatigue caused by lack of time
to sleep and private life. In addition, for several months the company intensifies
pressures on workers, including controlling the number of outputs and minutes spent in the
toilet, or prohibiting calls during working hours.
Therefore, at this time, the Workers' Initiative organized a campaign "Safe Pack",
reminding employees about it, that in this difficult time to remember about your health
and safety.
The leaflet for workers write:
"One of the most common causes of accidents at work are RUSH, PRESSURE FROM THE SUPERIORS
AND ROUTINE! We are working like crazy to forget about instructions, regulations,
precautions, excessive physical stress, to drink, a break from routine. Meanwhile, each
activity should be given enough time to make sure that it was done in compliance with all
safety and quality. Do not go overboard with the pace, work safely! "
See more about. Action "Safe Pack"
The action is international, it involves the employees of France i Niemiec. Currently in
several warehouses in Germany last strikes. Workers are demanding the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, which would guarantee them higher wages.
We also appeal through a raise. In those days, the company once again trying to beat
records of sent packets. What are the employees of this? At most corporate shirts. We will
not accept it. We demand that the giant company's revenue (35.7 billion dollars. For the
first quarter of 2017.), Which are obtained through our work, reflected in the wages of
workers.
The company has just finished a review of salaries. Amazon sets the amount of annual
increases based on data rates in the region and the industry, or information about
unemployment. This method of calculating wages leads to the perpetuation of inequality. We
demand that the company no longer treat us as cheap labor, and raised our wages according
to which revenues are obtained.
In April and May 2017. IP probe conducted to investigate the mood of the crew. On the
basis directed to Amazon's new demands. The most important demands were:
Increases in the base rate by 30%
The introduction of the thirteenth salary like the French Amazon
Raising internship modeled on the German Amazon
"Travel under the pear tree" from the Social Fund
Increases in demand is entirely justified in the face of growing the company's revenue,
economic recovery, a decline in unemployment and increase in the minimum wage. The rates
offered by Amazon are not competitive: wages collar worker in the logistics sector in
Wielkopolska reached in 2016. Between 2600 zl (first quartile) and 3900 zl (third
quartile), and in Lower Silesia in 2400 zl (first quartile), 3600 zl (third quartile) -
according to the report "market Insights 2017 Property market Warehouse" Colliers
International. This means that three-quarters of all employees logistics earned to zl
3600-3900, while the average height Amazonie base salary worker storage (level 1) is the
average of 2618.44 gr, and average gross (including overtime, bonuses, and additives) was
in the first quarter of 2017. only 3072.58 zl (for information on the Fund Payroll).

In Hamburg and Bern people took the streets yesterday in solidarity with NoG20 prisoners
and people who got injured during last weeks NoG20 protests. ---- Image: Solidarity demo
in Bern, Switzerland on July 15th. ---- Published by Enough is Enough. ---- You will find
all our No G20 stories here. ---- Note: Enough is Enough is not organizing any of these
events, we are publishing this text for people across the US and Europe to be able to see
what is going on and for documentation only. ---- In Hamburg about 100 people gathered in
front of the Billwerder JVA prison yesterday, where several NoG20 prisoners are
imprisoned. 51 people are still in jail. Two of them are Fabio (18) and Maria (23). During
a demonstration on Friday 7 July, with the aim of blocking a road leading to the location
of the G20 summit, the two protesters from the Italian city of Feltre (Veneto region) were
taken into custody. They tried to help a young woman who have been injured by the police.
Both were taken to the detention center in Hamburg-Harburg. The police detention was
changed to imprisonment, so they are currently in prison. They are accused of a criminal
offense in the area of "public order disruption."

In Bern, Switzerland about 150 people took the streets yesterday in solidarity with the
NoG20 prisoners and people who got injured during last weeks NoG20 protests in Hamburg.
The demonstration was able to march as planned. In a statement activists said that its
important to organise and express solidarity against repression.
The German state is preparing even more repression. The 170 men and women strong G20
police task force asked for cooperation with police forces of other countries in order to
be able to arrest activists from outside Germany. In Düsseldorf, Germany, cops were making
trouble at a critical mass bicycle demo on Friday. Cops pulled out several people to check
their identity papers. Eyewitnesses said that cops motivated their action in Düsseldof,
saying that the cops were looking for people who where in Hamburg during the No G 20 protests.

In Hamburg, met leaders of the world, ordinary people came out to demonstrate against
their Sedanka the streets. Download, print and spread the July issue of wall newspapers
A3! ---- On Friday, July 7 flared in Hamburg a few barricades and cars. Media demand has
been met, even though it was within the overall scope of the protests against the summit
of the heads of 20 of the richest and most powerful states a marginal thing to talk about
almost anything else. Ironically, the least of all the residents of the affected
neighborhoods thrill, who largely expressed support for protests and intense and pervasive
resentment of perceived police harassment and senseless rampage thugs in uniforms. ---- In
Hamburg met, more precisely - closer to each other, two completely different worlds. Those
above and those below. Privileged, wielding power in the hands, and the underprivileged,
which turns the power in their everyday lives. They wanted mine to be heard once again.
Their arguments, however, did not reach the ears of the powerful through police cordons,
bumps fists and batons, water cannons and tear gas. Powerful made a party for half a
billion euros, and no one could say a word. Police acted contrary to previous decisions of
the courts arbitrarily prohibited and mandating, beat journalists and prevented them from
working, attacking mainly peaceful demonstrators ... Her behavior was either a combination
of violent horniness and lack of strategic thinking, or had a deeper background, about
which we can only speculate. The result will clearly strengthen the repressive powers and
more muffled freedom of expression. Speech that challenges the existing capitalist "order"
of social inequality and the destruction of nature and climate. Speech that is not
satisfied with the fact that those at the top just do everything on their own, thus
benefiting its power interests and the economic interests of their sponsors.
That was a thousand people out of a hundred thousand protesters little wilder and let the
cops have anything like us, unprivileged, not nepoplaší. Corporate newspapers targeting
frightened petty bourgeoisie can spread moral panic, but we're not so ground, we know that
the fish stinks from the head. The nestrategickým and non-political speech during large
protests and rebellions just happens. It is quite possibly the only option, as well as
long-term lumpenproletariat frustrated petty police official and bullying can sign the word.
If we accept the argument that the beginning of July Hamburg moved lunatics, then we have
to show a different direction. Freaks, as it probably should be rightly be carefully
guarded zone, which was not intended for ordinary mortals. They shook hands, smiling at
each other, along with taking photos and have negotiated as the ball of the world. The
result was that they wanted to continue playing in their sandbox, wield power in their
hands and earn money, and without regard to people and nature. All presented political
representation of capitalist societies, even though many of them work in a peculiar
manner: State Roofing capitalist exploitation in China; Russian oligarchs collaborating
with a leader who has de facto opposition; dubious "putschist" Brazilian president facing
corruption scandals; Saudi dictatorship, which because of its oil darling of the West,
even if it contributes to the spread of Islamism ... Most of the top brass G20 is somehow
linked to the fossil fuel industry, so hardly expect that will really solve the ongoing
threat of climate change. Human rights are most of them for laughs, the Turkish autocrat
fighting against large Kurdish minority and opposition over xenophobic Trump and German
Chancellor mlátickám thanking police for the "excellent work" after the hypocritical
European politicians who leave to sink thousands of people in the Mediterranean. About
Saudi Arabia and China, not to mention. So the G20 summit was especially narcissistic
performing its main stars, headed by Trump, Putin and all shots hrnoucím French president.
Security guards this incredible party then gave over the head open to anyone who would
like to try to disrupt it. But we are at the bottom of my voice surrender. We live without
the top brass and their friends from the military, petroleum, coal, automotive and who
knows what more corporations are able to get around. Us they do not. Who would they kept
plugging away? Maybe one lucky and people stop believing in fairy tales about the existing
sovereign power of the people and the power to really take. Not that they will go and
conquer "Winter Palace", but simply to bother to work for those who just squeeze; to
participate in the exploitation of the common people on the other side of the planet; to
buy whatever they impose advertising ... just stop listening to the call "public
officials" give up on an official decree. Just take lives into their own hands.
They argue that it is not possible. But it's a lie. They forbid us to dream, to make our
dreams could become their nightmares. But until you break free your imagination until you
exit the roles that prepared for us, until we are on the summits of his laugh as we are
fools, that we leave it like that.

For the last few years, anarchists, Indigenous people and anti-colonial activists in
Kingston have been pushing back against what has always been a particularly strong
Canadian nationalist spirit that exists here in town, heavily promoted by the city and
local heritage enthusiasts. Much of this push-back has focused on the celebration of John
A. MacDonald, Canada's ultra-racist, colonizing first prime minister. Canada Day has also
seen a bit of anti-Canada activity in recent years - two years ago, a banner was dropped
over the parade, and last year a small group of people burned a Canadian flag while the
parade passed by. ---- This year, with patriots celebrating Canada's "150th birthday" and
a lot of groundwork laid by years of anti-Canada activities, a group of us decided to try
for a street march up the main street to meet and confront the annual Red and White People
Parade.
It seemed ambitious - street marches are rare here and many of us are scared ourselves to
openly express our feelings about Canada in a town where a lot of our neighbours, bosses,
friends and coworkers are likely to be right there at the July 1st parade, all dressed in
red and white and waving their flags. Most of us wondered if anybody at all would dare to
show up, if the thing would be a disaster, if we'd experience it as a setback rather than
a victory. We spread the word with a small flyer and by word of mouth, hoping to maintain
some element of surprise, and called for people to come dressed in black to express a
spirit of mourning, grief and rage in opposition to the festive, celebratory red and white
parade.
