“Amazon’s strategy is very blatantly: get the Latino vote,” said Medelius-Marsano. “What we hear from people in all departments, in all shifts, is that Amazon is painting CAUSE as a black union and saying, ‘All the black folks are lazy and the Hispanics are the ones that work the hardest, and the union is only trying to protect lazy people.’”
