Christian Smalls
The former worker making history, Timandra Harkness profiles the tenacious Christian Smalls, President of The Amazon Labor Union.
Despite being fired by Amazon early in the pandemic, Chris Smalls continued to campaign for better rights and conditions for Amazon employees, setting up the Amazon Labor Union last year.
Now the Staten Island warehouse where Chris used to be based has made history, becoming the first Amazon workplace in the United States to vote for union representation, a serious defeat for Amazon which has been fighting against unionisation.
Timandra Harkness hears about the man behind this historic vote, speaking to some of the family, friends and team who鈥檝e supported him along the way.
