We are reporting the recent death of a worker at the RDU1 warehouse in Garner, NC. Eyewitnesses say that the worker suffered what appeared to be a stroke on the 4th floor assembly area shortly after arriving to work on Sunday, March 1, 2026. He collapsed, and his co-workers notified Wellness Staff. They took almost half an hour to arrive, according to a worker who was trying to help the afflicted man. “He was on the floor. It looked to me like he was dying. I had to leave after fifteen or twenty minutes because Amazon will you charge you time. They still hadn’t come.” “To me, it was negligence,” he says. The worker, a 55-year old military veteran and long-time Amazon employee, passed away the next day. Amazon has communicated nothing to RDU1 Associates about their co-worker’s death or explained the slow response time. Despite repeated union protests, Amazon has no trained nurse or doctor on staff at the giant RDU1 facility of nearly 5,000 workers. The company discourages workers from calling 911, instructing them to notify the building’s Wellness Center and then continue working.

A brief recap of our organizing over the past year for International May Day 2026: CAUSE was founded in 2022. Since then, it’s been a journey shaped by struggle and solidarity- hosting cookouts, distributing literature to inform our co-workers of their rights, fighting through a major union election, and securing smaller but meaningful wins through petitions (like getting fans installed at RDU1). Along the way, we’ve built a real sense of community and expanded our efforts across multiple warehouses. If there’s one thing this year has taught us, it’s simple: Don’t Quit! Organize. Support our efforts by volunteering through the link in bio. If you’re an Amazon worker DM us to get involved! Donations to keep this going accepted through our website.

"It's wrong when you can clock in 10-12 hours and clock out and still go home wondering how the rent is going to get paid. Something is wrong when you stand at the pump doing math before you touch the handle or sit in the car in a parking lot trying to stretch one check across lights, food, childcare and healthcare. Something is wrong when survival takes everything you've got and still leaves vou short. That's not how it's supposed to be." - Rev. Ryan Brown, CAUSE Founder, Former Amazon Worker, May Day 2026 #mayday2026
