Episode Details

Amazon warehouse workers in Staten Island recently voted to unionize. They're the first Amazon employees to organize successfully. It's a historic moment for workers and big news for Amazon employees, and it's the latest in a series of positive developments over the last couple years for organized labor. Organized labor seems to be on the rise for the first time in a long time... is that true? What does this union vote mean for workers right now, and what does it mean for labor in the bigger picture moving forward? We asked Dr. Laura Bucci, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University to come on the podcast to answer these questions and others about Amazon and workers rights in America in 2022.
