Stand up to eBay's Assault on Worker's Rights!


Yesterday, in a shocking announcement to the union, eBay and TCGplayer announced that they will be shutting down operations at their sole authentication center in Syracuse, N.Y. – the only part of eBay that’s represented by a union. While TCGplayer claims that this is an effort to "consolidate" operations under one facility in Kentucky, we know the truth. TCGplayer and eBay are doing this in an attempt to dissolve our union. But we aren’t giving up.

Like other tech giants and oligarchs, eBay and TCGplayer think that they can disregard workers’ rights under the current administration by deploying illegal tactics to silence us and put an end to contract negotiations. They should realize by now that we will never stop fighting.

We organized at TCGplayer because while we love our jobs, we wanted to do something about the unlivable wages and economic hardship we all face at the company. eBay refuses to provide us with a livable wage, while executives make millions of our labor.

Interested in supporting us? Here are a few ways to tell CEO Robert Bigler and eBay CEO Jamie Iannone how outraged you are:

Send a message to CEO Bigler and CEO Iannone to let them know you stand with workers: https://click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.qUXRBnqZ7T8nxbpAcIVwoUsWLkUMWlo_0JmZttSlm3-mLjfBL56FPEOoRlDexFrqgcNjgSvBz0x3aiXhP5bco7BxD8b9byr4wRsQZRSpnKtscN4gnnGM1iNmLrUlahY1XYTqYbKg_eC0ckpZgtrSZkE1vF6dQcgQ2__T2ZETnnG_rQYQpfeHhp_CHgTZt-1LrEubDpNLtXSEC2gQTmFA7pQ7e7CQKU33ieFe-C1Mu1-QsASvUG95Urwk06e3aVgCZGD6tJ2hh-MBOqC0Gm4qN3bhGs0E81YcumbPK-8gf2gVTUXWAdspf9Q3KQZbBN-q1lw6Z9exawLMDU3nB2dIBdQ8IL5x-8r049XAgLRoIl8/4gq/-LJATZ-aSbyW2NpUmvHCFQ/h2/h001.cmXYDV77uyBGhe1Umfv0Y_u_FY-5EeeDhRM0dh4lXGk

Share your outrage outline with the hashtag #StandUpToEbay and tag us on Instagram and Bluesky at @TCGunionCWA

They are trying to make us disappear, but we will not stop fighting.

In solidarity,

TCGunion-CWA
