Hundreds of striking Amazon workers are picketing at the Amazon warehouse in SF\u2019s Bayview District, joining thousands of other Amazon workers nationwide who went on strike Thursday morning looking for better wages and health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less than a week before Christmas, KTVU reports that Amazon fulfillment center workers have gone on strike<\/a> at seven large Amazon warehouses nationwide. And that includes the Toland Street warehouse in San Francisco\u2019s Bayview District, where workers voted to unionize a couple months back<\/a>. The workers say that the trillion-dollar company ignored their December 15 deadline to negotiate better wages and health care, and they\u2019ve gone on strike across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how things are going at the Amazon strike in New York.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SFist cannot confirm that police were \u201croughing up and arresting workers\u201d at this strike site some 3,000 miles away, but the tweet below is evidence that some striking Amazon workers were arrested. And mind you, the police officers doing the arresting are themselves members of unions, unions that regularly get these officers very generous wage and benefit packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KTVU has some footage of the strike here in SF<\/a>, apparently taken around 6:30 am Thursday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
