Revealed: Ambulances Were Called to Amazon Warehouses 600 Times in Three Years
cocainesocialist: ---- Figures obtained by VICE under the Freedom of Information Act
reveal that ambulances have been called to Amazon's UK warehouses at least 600 times in
the last three years. Common complaints included breathing problems and chest pain, and
patients were taken to hospital on more than half of these occasions. Between 2015 and
2017, ambulances were called 115 times to Amazon's warehouse in Rugeley, Staffordshire.
Over the same period, paramedics attended a Tesco warehouse of the same size in nearby
Lichfield on eight occasions. (Amazon said the warehouses employ different numbers of
people and that the sites are not directly comparable.)
A members survey of Amazon workers conducted by the GMB union paints an alarming picture
of life in the company's warehouses. The findings are due to be published at the union's
annual congress this weekend. Respondents included a pregnant woman who claimed she was
made to stand for ten-hour shifts. Workers described life at the company as "soul
destroying" and like "living in a prison". Another reported feeling "like a trapped
animal". Current and former employees shared similar stories with VICE. One claimed to
have been the subject of disciplinary action after failing to call in sick from hospital
following an epileptic seizure at work.
Mick Rix, national officer at GMB, said: "Hundreds of ambulance call-outs, pregnant women
telling us they are forced to stand for ten hours a day, pick, stow, stretch and bend,
pull heavy carts and walk miles - even miscarriages and pregnancy issues at work. None of
these things happen in safe, happy working environments. Companies like Amazon should be
treating staff with respect, not treating them like robots."

During the mobilization sequence against Parcoursup and the ORE law, occupations were one
of the main tactics employed by struggling students. That of Tolbiac, Paris 13 th , was
particularly publicized. Critical assessment, seen from the inside, by a militant
communist libertarian. ---- It is not a question here of going back over all the details
of this occupation which, from the 26th of March to the 20th of April, made Tolbiac one of
the leading spots of the student protest in France, alongside Toulouse or Montpellier. The
experience was beautiful, rich in new encounters, thrills and moments of joy and sharing.
---- Between enthusiasm and disappointment ---- The Free Commune of Tolbiac became a
crucible in which new militant individuals were formed, now determined to carry their
enthusiasm in new battles. Nevertheless, she also suffered from many problems, sometimes
very serious ones.
The first and most fundamental was the general unpreparedness of the occupants. In
Paris-I, the activists of the self-management were notably grouped within Solidaires
étudiant.es which was one of the main forces at the origin of the project of occupation.
Recently created, the union was a structure that was too fragile, which was shattered from
the beginning of the business. The occupation project had been mentioned in the weeks
preceding its implementation, but without really being prepared all the logistical
elements necessary for its proper functioning. In addition, these activists had little or
no concrete experience of community life and self-management.
This lack of preparation and inexperience largely resulted from the inability of the
occupiers and occupants to establish a lasting collective framework to organize the
occupation. After a few days, they decided to hold a daily meeting to discuss the
day-to-day management of the occupation. Unfortunately, because of lack of time and a lack
of organization, it took place only irregularly. In addition, she was constantly
parasitized by issues outside the management of the site, often led by activists who were
not themselves occupiers. In addition, the distribution of tasks within the occupation was
done through large tables where everyone enrolled at his pleasure. The notion of mandate,
however central, was completely sidelined.
Heavy tensions to manage
This lack of a collective framework resulted in the general inability of the occupiers to
enforce the rules they had tried to develop together. Faced with the almost mafia-like
methods of several autonomous or antifascist groups who, under the pretext of offering the
occupation a " protection That this one did not claim, sowed the disorder, they were
incapable of coping. Degradation and aggression were therefore committed without the
occupants being able to do anything about it. Their lack of cohesion and their fluctuating
number, often too small, prevented them from establishing durably the balance of power
necessary to maintain security in Tolbiac. Another source of tensions during the
occupation was the complicated relationship of the occupants with the youths of the city
opposite. Arriving in Tolbiac towards the end of the second week of occupation, they met
the mistrust of the occupants and occupants. They quickly became aware of their inability
to cope, and thus ignored most of the rules of the place. Nevertheless, in the last days,
a dialogue was established as best they could, and some of these young people showed a
growing desire to participate in the occupation and to integrate fully. Who knows what
could have been done over the long term in this nascent convergence ?
All of this ended up burdening the occupants with a stifling sense of urgency and panic.
Their small numbers, organizational problems and threats of fascist or police attacks all
contributed to their exhaustion, both mentally and physically. In a self-management
without mandates, the few individuals who mechanically found themselves at the center of
all the management of the occupation were criticized for their supposed authoritarianism,
while they were overwhelmed by fatigue and stress. It was on this basis that the feeling
among many occupants and occupants that Tolbiac developed was an area to be defended, even
to the detriment of the mobilization as a whole.
Several balance sheet documents say that it is mainly because of the political convictions
of the occupiers and the occupiers that the occupation has finally fallen back on itself.
This ideological element could play, and the imagination of the Zad was indeed very
present in Tolbiac. Nevertheless, these ideas could only develop because they found a
fertile ground in this sense of urgency whose causes were very concrete.
A necessity in the face of closure
As soon as the university administration decided to administratively close Tolbiac to
prevent students from regrouping, the occupation became a necessity for the movement. All
the political components present in the mobilization finally agreed and supported this
idea. Nevertheless, not all of them seemed aware of the practical constraints that the use
of this tactic would impose on the movement. It is wrong to oppose, as NPA members have
for example, the idea of an occupation conceived as a " place of life " to that of an
occupation which would be a simple tactic in the service of the struggle. If there is
occupation, there is necessarily creation of a place of life and necessity of its daily
management.
Therefore, rather than criticizing by far the supposed mistrust of the occupiers vis-à-vis
the outside, playing astonished as soon as they heard about the problems of the
occupation, political activists would have had to become more involved in the occupation.
Thus, their participation could have undermined the material bases of this beleaguered
fortress mentality, a mentality that their perpetual criticisms ultimately only
strengthened. Meanwhile, the occupiers gradually succumbed to exhaustion or
discouragement, and it was easy for the police to come and put an end to the occupation.

June 10 in Moscow on Sakharov Avenue was a rally "For a free Russia without repression and
arbitrariness", in which, according to organizers, about 3 thousand people took part.
Moscow anarchists went to the action with portraits of the figurants of the "Seti" case ,
as well as the Crimean anarchists Alexander Kolchenko and Yevgeny Karkashev and the Nizhny
Novgorod anarchist Ilya Romanov . Guests from Belarus brought a banner in support of the
Belarusian political prisoner Dmitry Polienko. ---- When not far from the entrance to the
event, the members of the anarchist bloc were arrayed to go to the meeting place, a group
of activists of the Left Bloc and the Russian Socialist Movement stood side by side.
Chanting the slogans for the freedom of political prisoners, they all reached the rally,
where for a while they stood as a common "box".
Among the speakers at the rally was an anarchist and former political prisoner Alexei
Sutuga , as well as Svetlana Pchelintseva, the mother of one of the figurants of the Seti
case.
Speech Alexei Sutugi: "I was asked to talk about the" Penza case. " Eight people from St.
Petersburg and Penza read Kropotkin and played airsoft. They are in jail, they were
tortured and accused of terrorism.
Why does the FSB act this way? In all epochs, the ability to own weapons distinguished
free men. And now there are times like this, that even in plastic models the FSB sees a
danger. The FSB is afraid that free people will be able to defend themselves.
Nobody forbade anarchism in Russia. Kropotkin's books are sold in stores. In honor of
Kropotkin not far from here is called the metro station. In Russia there are anarchist
sites, publications, cooperatives. Anarchists publish books, participate in social
protests. They have many projects.
In Russia you can play airsoft. There are hundreds of airsoft clubs, patriotic or
apolitical. But together, unsecured anarchism and legal airsoft, as it turned out, lead to
prison.
People of different views came to this meeting. For example, nationalists and Stalinists,
who are extremely unpleasant to us. But political struggle in Russia can not be done by
the hands of cops. If they can fabricate a case against the Nazis, they can also be an
anarchist. If an anarchist can be imprisoned, the liberal is under threat.
Breaking the horns of a police state is a common goal for all. Without this, no
development of Russia is possible. "They do not give rights, they are taken!" Said
Kropotkin. "

The 22-year-old PA was sentenced to 15 years in prison in September 2017 for defending her
assault and attempted rape by her 46-year-old man, two years ago, in Corinth. This is one
of the thousands of examples of daily violence against women. Sexist attacks, domestic
violence, lay-offs, rape, and more are incidents that happen every day. ---- On Saturday
night, 9/6, there was a mass poster and a tricky solidarity intervention in the center of
Patras for the 22-year-old woman's case. That same evening was hanged in Espero, at
George's Square, a banner that read: "SOLIDARITY IN 22 YEARS | NO REMEDY CONCERNING
THEMSELVES TO SEXUAL EVENTS AND SOCIAL WELFARE ". ---- SOLIDARITY IN THE 22 YEARS WOMAN
FROM CORINTH CREATED ONE OF THEM (13 June, nafplion) ---- Women's Initiative Against

Ilya Kapustin - A witness. Tortured and questioned. He is free.
Starting in the autumn of last year FSB have been arresting antifascists and anarchists
organising boycotts of the presidential elections and upcoming World Cup to be held in
Russia. They invented an anarchist terrorist group call 'the Network' and used the all the
creativity of the state to make this fiction appear true. The FSB have planted evidence,
kidnapped people and systematically used beatings and torture with electric shocks to
produce confessions. Our comrades are being held in unbearable conditions in over-crowded
detention centres to break them mentally as well as physically. This cannot continue in
silence. The world's attention will be on Russia with the FIFA World Cup beginning 14 June.
Let's raise our banners and not let our comrades be forgotten.
