This article by Luis Feliz Leon, first published by Labor Notes, describes how the Teamsters and other unions are spinning off momentum from recent organizing fights to new battle fronts across Amazon’s logistics chain.
Workers at Amazon’s massive RDU1 fulfillment center in Garner, outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, have taken the next step in their nearly three-year effort to win union recognition. On Labor Day, Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment (C.A.U.S.E.) started collecting signatures on union representation cards that will then be submitted to the National Labor Relations Board, petitioning for an election. World-Outlook interviewed C.A.U.S.E. co-founder and vice president Mary Hill via video to learn more about this important fight.
