In my 25 years writing about labor, the unionization victory at the Amazon warehouse in Staten Island is by far the biggest, beating-the-odds David versus Goliath unionization win I've seen

A fired Amazon worker took on Amazon's union busters & unionized a 5,000-worker warehouse

Did you know your Weingarten rights which guarantee a worker the right to union representation during an investigatory interview exists because of a SCOTUS case? #SCOTUS #UAW

[Brennan Center United @BCJ_United]

As workers who fight to advance and defend democracy every day, we formed our union to further that mission. We’re so proud of UAW members for pushing the national union in that same direction. #1M1V to make leadership more representative & equitable: https://t.co/3bXl7uXuD3

But unless or until American labor law is changed to truly empower workers to exercise their right to bargain collectively, employers should do the right thing and voluntarily recognize their employees’ choice of union representative. (13/13)

And the American union election process is an oddity compared to other countries’ labor laws. (12/13) https://t.co/PU1QfUJb1k
