The rose is the symbol of the Socialist International. Not sure where they got it but it sure wasn't from anti-women's-suffrage movements

Wikipedia posted:

The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Archives at New York University states that the rose "has always been an important symbol with anti-authoritarian associations."[31] The rose symbol became popular among socialist and social democratic political parties in post-World War II Europe.[31] The symbol of a rose in a fist is used by the Socialist International "and many of its member parties" such as the French Socialist Party (PS).[32]

The British Labour Party has used a red rose as its symbol since the late 1980s; the rose replaced the party's previous symbol, the red flag.[33]

btw the Tamiment Library is legit and has a lot of cool lefty stuff.

AmazonFresh worker reveals: Amazon illegally keeps workers in a freezer for over two hours at a time

quote:

The International Amazon Workers Voice (IAWV) recently spoke with a young AmazonFresh worker in Virginia. Launched in 2007, AmazonFresh, the company�s online grocery business, delivers groceries to its Prime members in select cities. AmazonFresh represents an effort to directly challenge brick-and-mortar stores in the $800 billion grocery market. According to Business Insider, Amazon plans to open 20 physical AmazonFresh locations over the next two years.

Food and other perishable items in AmazonFresh facilities are stored in refrigerators and freezers with temperatures ranging from 30 to -22 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to -30 degrees Celsius). �You have no idea where you will be placed that day or what you should wear. I have one co-worker that wears three different layers of clothes that he takes on and off throughout the day,� the worker said.

Even though employees are only legally allowed to stay in the freezer for one hour, the worker says management frequently breaks the law. �There are no clocks in the freezer. There is no way you can track time in there. No manager comes to let you know you can get out of the freezer at the end of the hour. You can set an alarm on your phone, but then you have to take off your freezer equipment in -22 degree weather to turn off the alarm. Stopping to check for the time also slows you down�they never stop monitoring your pick rate. If you are assigned to freezer duty after lunch, you�ll be in the freezer from 12:25 pm to 3pm.�

�They have you on a string,� said the Amazon worker, �most people I know have multiple jobs because they never know when Amazon is going to lay them off.� The Amazon worker expressed agreement with a recent article published by IAWV about work conditions in the Maryland and Virginia Amazon plants. �It�s obvious you are in contact with workers at the plant: what you described is spot on.�

A former student, the worker took a job with Amazon after learning about their $122 sign-on bonus, an amount roughly equal to one day�s pay. However, the worker says the company neglected to inform them accepting the bonus meant signing an 11-month contract. Human Resources also reportedly promised the worker that management would not oversee how fast they moved items on and off the shelves�also known as a pick rate�for at least a few months. �This was a complete and total lie,� the worker said, �After four months, I still have never gotten this money and the company added a pick rate after I joined. It was extremely stressful because I thought I would get fired every day.�

Turnover among workers was so high that management recently lowered the pick rate at the plant. �The past few weeks they have been hiring people left and right. I�ll clock out for lunch and see 2 or 3 massive groups of recruits. I�m sure after Prime Day Amazon will fire all these workers. They are all part-time. Within one week half of them will either quit or get fired.�

�We are working 11 hours a day on our feet. We are back at work after three days and our bodies have not had enough time to recover. I�m in my twenties and I�m worn out. They do not care if you are sick or if you are in pain. They do not care if you have kids or obligations, it�s about their bottom line. We are as replaceable as tissue paper,� they said.

As someone who worked for Amazon for a while this is absolutely the case. I'm surprised they're allowed to have phones on them. At my warehouse if you forgot to leave your phone in the car you'd get hit going through security to lunch/break. They'd take your phone and go through it to make sure you didn't steal it from there. (In over a year I nor anyone I worked with even saw a cellphone being packaged for shipping lmao)
