A clip from an exclusive interview & conversation with current and former Amazon Labor Union (ALU) members who work (or worked) at the Amazon JFK8 facility in Staten Island, NY. These former Amazon Labor Union Executive Board members and leaders are currently in the union and have filed claim against ALU and Union President Chris Smalls with the state of New York, charging discrimination, gross negligence, abandonment of responsibilities, mismanagement of funds, harassment of employees asking tough questions, slander & false accusations of a VP who is demanding accountability from the rest of union leadership.
This group charges that ALU President Chris Smalls has taken complete control of the Amazon Labor Union along with a handful of lawyers - and OUT of the hands of the facility workers. The Executive Board, of which our guests were all serving members, was disbanded - they say illegally. These union members claim to have ZERO direct representation of their positions on the executive leadership of their own union.
