"We’re not organizing from scratch—organization already exists in how management has set up the shifts, departments, and jobs. Amazon sets the shift pattern in Sortation Centers to make them particularly high-turnover," writes Amazon worker Paul Blundell: labornotes.org/blogs/2025/0...

Organizing Amazon will require an understanding of the company’s vulnerabilities—like Sortation Centers, hubs that are some of the weakest links in its supply chain—and a strategy for taking advantage of them, writes Benjamin Y. Fong: labornotes.org/blogs/2024/1...

Please consider working to help convince your community to install a similar sortation system as a local climate action.

Post-collection sorting, however, can be pricey, requiring magnets, heat & separation of alloys. In those area with separate aluminum streams, aluminum is cheaper to process & less likely to be transferred to landfill

I just heard a neat new phrase: "sortation delay". When UPS accidentally ships your thing to Minnesota instead of Southern California, that's a "sortation delay".
