Bernie Sanders Reacts To Amazon Workers' Union Efforts In Alabama

Apr 10, 2021

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) joins Ali Velshi to discuss Amazon warehouse workers' failed effort to unionize in Bessemer, Alabama. He says, “companies have so much power to threaten and intimidate, to put people in closed rooms and tell them over and over again how terrible unions are. We have to change that.”

and still worth taking.
Most workers not do not have experience with a union and the help unions can be for regular workers.
Lots of educating to do, for all of us.
I'm retired, but am still grateful for my union. It's not just wages, but day-to-day working conditions and safety.
With a union, workers have a VOICE.
