Labor laws are going to be key which is why Amazon is advertising about regulation of everything else And again the racism isn't incidental and keeps being left out https://twitter.com/...

“It's a moral victory and really shows that we are on the right side of history and the right side of the law.” Moral victories are all that's available under current labor law. #PROAct https://www.nytimes.com/...

It shouldn't be this hard to unite in a union. This is why we need to rewrite the rules to protect our right to a voice on the job. https://www.nbcnews.com/...

It's been almost one year since @Amazon started retaliating against workers who spoke out. We need the @NLRB to launch an investigation into Amazon's pattern and practice of retaliation. 2/ https://www.nbcnews.com/...
