                 While small businesses around the country have folded and 
millions of Americans are still unemployed, one major corporation is doing 
quite well: the online retail giant Amazon.com. In fact, not only are they 
doing "well" — their CEO Jeff Bezos's personal "worth" has grown from $73 
billion to more than $200 billion, all just since the start of the pandemic. 
Bezos was already the richest man in the world; now he's nearly three times 
as rich as he was before. In contrast, Amazon.com's workers are struggling 
badly.

                  This grotesque wealth inequality is the result of Bezos's 
efforts to keep his workers down. Amazon is notoriously anti-union and also 
aggressive about union-busting. Meanwhile, their many warehouses have 
flooded with COVID-19 outbreaks as Bezos continues to prioritize pushing 
record sales over his own employees' health. And has Amazon shared any of 
its massive wealth gains with these employees? No. Despite the fact that 
they are truly "essential workers" during this pandemic, they only received 
a temporary $2/hour wage increase and a $300 holiday bonus. Amazon is making 
billions off the backs of these workers. They deserve better! Sign the 
petition to tell Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos to meet workers' demands for 
increased pay, proper safety measures, and unionization!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. Bezos's unimaginable wealth gain stands in stark 
contrast to his workers' meager pay, long hours, and dangerous COVID 
exposure. Tell Amazon and Jeff Bezos to increase workers' pay and safety, 
and allow unionization!
