Amazon workers on Staten Island voted last week to unionize, despite heavy pressure from the company against unionization. Workers at the facility voted for a union by a rather wide margin, with labor leaders across the country calling it a victory for workers.
Is it a one-off? What might change as a result of this vote? What was Amazon's reasoning for lobbying against it so heavily? Our guests discuss it:
- Colin O'Malley, chief of staff for the Rochester-Genesee Valley Area Labor Federation
- Kent Gardner, chief economist with the Center for Governmental Research
