Progressive journalist Krystal Ball slammed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for bailing on a group of Amazon labor union workers at an event last August.
, D-N.Y., got into a Twitter feud with a progressive journalist and former MSNBC host Thursday for skipping a labor union rally that she had pledged to be at last summer.member for tweeting out support for a Staten Island Amazon Labor Union vote, after bailing on their union drive last minute back in August 2021 due to"scheduling conflicts" and"security concerns," but still managing to make the Met Gala a few weeks later.
"The warehouse isn’t in my district and maybe you should look at a map before claiming so. One scheduling conflict aside, we have requested oversight investigations into Amazon, met with Amazon workers in the Woodside warehouses, and more. Hope you do more due diligence next time," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
"I was told by workers that your folks told them at last minute it was a security issue—not a scheduling conflict. Whether ur district or not, you would think a NY Congressman could've tweeted support—particularly in final weeks—for one of the most important union drives in U.S.," he tweeted.While at first Ocasio-Cortez blamed scheduling conflicts she then admitted she feared"threats on her life" for not showing up to the labor event.
"With respect, there's no security concerns with sending out support to @amazonlabor trying to win the first unionized Amazon to 13 million followers. Your voice and organizing power makes a difference," he wrote back.
