This is DPS5 in Santa Clarita, California. These tough sons of bitches are marching in 93 degree heat and basically stopping all work withing the warehouse as we were in the process of loading the vans up when they arrived. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Management wanted to keep us all around because we were already behind for the day but I just clocked out and went home. If you live in like Northern LA County you’re not getting your Amazon package today. Unless you’re REALLY far north and get your stuff from the Delivery Station in Palmdale.

For those who don’t know about the different types of Amazon buildings, there are Fullfillment Centers, Sort Centers, and Delivery Stations like DPS5. We receive already packed orders from fullfillment centers and every day we sort out everything into individual routes to be picked up by the delivery vans that actually like go to your house and stuff. The delivery drivers are all independent contractors who work for what Amazon calls “Delivery Service Partners” so they are not technically Amazon employees making it harder for drivers as a whole to unionize. The driver jobs are fucking brutal and the surveillance they’re under on the job is so incredibly fucking invasive. I guess there was some kind of contract dispute between one of the delivery companies and station management so some drivers were refusing to work too. If the drivers ever unionize Amazon would be so fucked.
