Hundreds of Amazon workers in Missouri speak out for better pay and conditions: 'We were unsafe'

More than 350 workers at the fulfillment center in St. Charles signed a petition seeking an increase in pay, raises for employees after training for additional roles and an end to a three-year cap on wage increases. The group’s organizers say Amazon’s "toxic culture" has led to safety issues.
A group of Amazon workers delivered a petition to management at a St. Charles fulfillment center Wednesday seeking better pay and working conditions.

More than 350 people signed the petition, according to the worker organizing committee at the STL8 Fulfillment Center.

“Now it's time for all Amazon workers to come together to demand the pay that we need to support our families, and a workplace where we feel safe and have a voice in our jobs,” said Kayla Breitbarth, who works at the center and is on the organizing committee.
