2024 was a banner year for Missouri workers!

Today, we’re releasing our annual report which highlights our biggest wins, our workers’ stories, and our fight over the past year for a Missouri that works for all of us.

It’s no wonder Amazon has a worker injury rate double the industry average. On today’s Prime Day, Amazon #MOworkers are doubling down on the fight for higher pay, safer work, and a real voice on the job!

Can you believe a Senate investigation found 2 in 5 Amazon workers got injured on a single #PrimeDay? Instead of taking accountability, the company tried to sweep it under the rug — while continuing to demand more and more of its workers.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Here’s one thing Taylor and Charli both agree on: In America, we don’t have kings. ❌ 👑

💪 Just like #STL8 and #SMO2 workers won a historic $1.50 raise after marching on the boss last year, Amazon workers across Missouri and Illinois are going to win $25 an hour by organizing their strength in numbers!

Put some RESPECT on our check! 💸

#PrimeDay start today — and Amazon still isn’t giving warehouse workers the pay they deserve.

👉How do we fight back? By organizing our strength in numbers to *protect* our freedoms, our families, and our futures!

Wendy’s worker, MWC, and #StandUpKC leader Fran Marion told THOUSANDS of #MOworkers at the state Capitol the truth: lawmakers like Gov. Kehoe and Speaker Patterson are working with the billionaires and racists to attack our freedoms!

St. Louis: Stand Together Against Data Centers!

Missouri Workers Center @moworkers.org · 6d

Join us for a public meeting on Sunday, October 12 at 3pm (doors at 2pm) to come together on a plan to stop a water-guzzling, energy bill hiking data center from taking hold of St. Louis.

Missouri Workers Center @moworkers.org · 6d

Low-wage workers with Missouri Workers Center are joining with people across St. Louis to fight against the development of a data center at the Armory Center. We're standing up and saying NO to data centers and development projects that don't benefit our communities!

But we are worth more, so we DESERVE more. And #MOworkers of all races and genders are organizing to make it happen.

Fast food giants force workers to choose between their health and their paycheck the second they get sick. Amazon execs rake in billion-dollar profits while workers suffer from an injury crisis. zTrip exploits drivers and denies them overtime pay.

“There is guilt on the hands of the bosses at zTrip, and it is time to say enough. Faith declares, enough! Workers demand, enough! And we are here to say with one voice, ENOUGH!”

Our movement is stronger with Bishop Donna in it!

Missouri Workers Center @moworkers.org · 8d

Bishop Donna has been a strong ally of #MOworkers for years, and in July she spoke in support of zTrip IRIS drivers filing a class action lawsuit to win the overtime pay they’re due.

Missouri Workers Center @moworkers.org · 8d

Congratulations to Rev. Donna Simon, who just got installed as *Bishop* in the Kansas City area!

🗣️ #StandUpKC and MWC leader Terrence Wise FIRED UP thousands of #MOworkers and allies at the Capitol. Now, he’s the lead plaintiff in the @aclumo.bsky.social lawsuit to fight Trump’s power grab, protect the 5th district where he lives, and demand fair representation for ALL Missourians!

Missouri Workers Center @moworkers.org · 12d

“We all deserve representation that’s going to highlight our needs. We ALL need good wages, we ALL need healthcare, we ALL value women’s rights. We ALL need a good union!” 🔥

Charles Laden, an Amazon #DLI6 worker, is tired of getting paid pennies while the execs pocket billions from his hard work. That’s why he’s calling on his coworkers to join him in the fight for higher pay!
