Fired by an App: Inside Amazon’s Mass Layoffs

What happens when an app decides your fate? In this debut episode of Malmborg Report, host John Malmborg sits down with Avi Tachna-Fram, a labor organizer on the front lines of the fight to unionize Amazon. Together, they unpack Amazon’s exploitative tactics—mass layoffs delivered through app logouts, the use of seasonal contracts to dodge worker benefits, and the dangerous conditions putting employees at risk.

Avi shares firsthand insights on why unionization is the most powerful tool Amazon workers have to push back against corporate overreach. This conversation digs deep into the realities of modern labor, the necessity of collective action, and how solidarity could change the game for workers worldwide.
