Chris Smalls is taking on billionaires and organizing workers for justice. Smalls is the founder and president of the Amazon Labor Union, an independent, democratic, worker-led labor union at Amazon in Staten Island. Smalls was formerly an Amazon warehouse supervisor, but was fired in 2020 after organizing a protest against the company’s unsafe pandemic conditions. Both his firing and the unsafe conditions have become the subject of an ongoing lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James and the impetus to start massive working-class organizing.
Smalls has been profiled by media outlets worldwide, including The New York Times, USA Today, The Guardian, and spoke with federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh at the Broadbent Institute's 2023 Progress Summit about how we can empower workers to fight for better working conditions, better wages, and a better world.
