Amazon workers in North Carolina are voting right now on whether to unionize. The company has subjected them to daily anti-union town halls with a live DJ, metal barricades around the warehouse, and more. I wrote about it for @thenation:
thenation.com
Organizers describe fear tactics, amped-up security, and daily town halls as workers vote on whether to unionize.
As Amazon workers in North Carolina cast their votes on whether to unionize, labor organizers hope their message will cut through the constant thrum of anti-union rhetoric, writes @ellafanger.
