Why not create a mobile app to allow all amazon workers to communicate and organize anonymously.
Could create an amazon-whistleblower subreddit, where people can post and shame managers on reddit, though might break the doxxing rules of reddit. So maybe create your own platform and create subs for different groups w/in amazon.
I'd do it all anonymously or get someone else to do it for you in their name who has no connections to you...
I'm actually wanting to create a platform like this...if I had time/money to do so. Think something like talkyard closer to reddit though w/ nested sub reddits... so you could have like a reddit for Farm Animals and under it Farm Animals > Goats, Farm Animals > Cows, and Farm Animals would show all posts from Farm Animals, Goats, and Cows..and even Goats > Baby Goats.
The goal is to use it for managing unions actually, allowing thought on issues of governance, question/answers, suggestions, and other 'types' of content blocks but I'm one dev, and not the best on frontend tech, though I'm full-stack/vue I always get caught up w/ the minute details.

- inemmetable 7y agoThis is something I'm actually working on at the moment (website rather than app). I agree that tech alone isn't going to solve this issue, but that's not the same as saying tech doesn't have a role or isn't a prerequisite

- devonkim 7y agoTechnology merely facilitates what people want to have in the first place such as in the Arab Spring situation. Unfortunately, most of the anger and violence in the US to incite change is likely to come from our right rather than our left.
- wgx 7y agoDon’t host it on AWS, though.
