Members of the Senate and House Democratic Caucuses will gather at the Amazon ATL6 Warehouse in East Point, GA, for a Workers' Rights Press Conference on Wednesday, September 25, at 1:00 p.m. The event is open to the public.

Sen. Nan Orrock (D–Atlanta) and Rep. Kim Schofield (D–Atlanta) are scheduled to speak at the conference. They will address concerns about Amazon's treatment of its employees at the ATL6 facility. The warehouse has faced allegations of Unfair Labor Practices, including harassment, threats, and intimidation aimed at discouraging worker organizing efforts.

This summer, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed complaints against Amazon for allegedly interrogating workers, conducting surveillance on them, and retaliating against their collective activities. Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has conducted multiple inspections of the ATL6 facility due to health and safety concerns.

Media representatives planning to attend are requested to confirm their attendance in advance by contacting Jantz Womack at SenatePressInquiries@senate.ga.gov.

Sen. Nan Orrock serves as the Democratic Caucus Secretary and represents the 36th Senate District in Fulton County. She can be reached at 404.463.8054 or via email at nan.orrock@senate.ga.gov.

Sen. Sonya Halpern is Vice Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus and represents the 39th Senate District, which includes neighborhoods across Atlanta, College Park, City of South Fulton, East Point, and Union City in Fulton County. She can be reached at 404.656.9644 or sonya.halpern@senate.ga.gov.
