One of the most historic union votes of our era is underway: 5,800 workers at the Amazon fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama, are currently voting on whether or not to unionize with the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union. If the union vote is successful, workers at the Bessemer facility will become the first unionized Amazon workforce in the United States.

On Feb. 22, 2021, world-renowned actor, activist, and Real News Network board member Danny Glover came to Bessemer to show support for Amazon workers and their struggle to form a union. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez drove 14 hours from Baltimore to Bessemer to sit down with Glover and talk about why this vote is so significant and how Amazon workers in Bessemer, the vast majority of whom are Black, are part of a long tradition of labor struggle in the South.

This interview is part of our new TRNN mini-series “Battleground Bessemer,” in which we will be bringing you in-depth coverage of the historic union vote in Bessemer throughout the month of March.

  1. I agree with most of what Mr Glover says…but what happens as so many times before they leave to so called better terms in other countries which in turn are domes of the things unions are for is a global workforce???

  2. Time to start suspending or canceling our Amazon subscriptions. Let’s see if our $$$ talks & Amazon listens.

  3. All Amazon employees worldwide should pool their money and just buy Amazon and set your own working conditions. That was the intended use of the corporation in the first place when profit-sharing by all employees was common compensation, the way it should be! Amazon can't exist without it's workforce. It's workforce should own it, it shouldn't own them.

  4. The main thing they all need to keep in mind is Amazon as a Company has soooo much Capital on hand, they can pick-up and move elsewhere at anytime they want. Having a job now, while finding a better job for your future, is the smarter, easier, proven route to take. And from what I understand about Amazon is they don't really give two shits about workers. Hope they have taken this in mind.

  5. amazon will just close that location… robotics will eliminate 80% of jobs soon. its a part of the world economic forums "great reset". most progressive liberals don't get how dangerous the neoliberal globalists and their transhumanism agenda is. the universal basic income will be their tool to institute globalist freemasonry satanic communism.

  6. Unions won't fully cut it. They go HAND-IN-HAND with Capitalism.
    Replace Capitalism with Socialism in the specific form of WORKERS OWN AND RUN BUSINESSES.
    DEMOCRACY NOT DICTATORSHIP. Get rid of Capitalism.
    Then the need for "unions" are replaced by the UNION OF THE ENTIRE WORKFORCE IN EACH AND EVERY BUSINESS.
    Dr Richard D Wolff told me all that.

  7. Prison labor all over America now; looking at that warehouse IT MOVES AND FEELS LIKE A PRISON, don't it.
    BECAUSE IT IS.

    Announcing the appointed time for night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months, to him among you who will go forward or will remain behind.

    Quote:
    In fact, the year of the moon is thirty years in the decisive grand Quran, also half of the moon’s year is fifteen years, accordingly I bear witness for Allah and Allah is sufficient for a Witness that the night for the middle of month of Ramadan for this year of yours is definitely will be after sunset of Sunday which is night of Monday; night of moon rising of the full-moon for month of Ramadan for this year of yours 1442; that’s because the sun will overtake the moon, so the crescent of Ramadan would be born on Sunday, so it would set before sunset of Sunday while it’s just a newly crescent while it is in the state of overtaking, then the sun would meet with while it's a newly crescent on down of Monday, date: Ramadan / 1 / 1442 according to the fore-beginning of overtaking that by no means and never can the entire humans see it because the sun will overtake the crescent in month of Ramadan, so how can you see the crescent setting before sunset? Surely, we are truthful, that’s because I know for certainty that the sun over took the moon so the crescent would be born before the eclipse and met with the sun while it’s a newly crescent, but those who hinder against sign of the cosmic overtaking that is extraordinary for the cosmic physics to hinder you from believing after it cleared to you that it is the truth, so you would begin arguing with the astronomers then you say: “How the moon gets full-moon before the night of middle of the month? This means that we missed fasting (days) from the month of Ramadan! The astronomers only belittle your minds then they convince you with the nonsense from themselves that this goes back to the geometric situation for the earth! Indeed, by Allah Whom there is no God other than Him, they say this to you out of themselves while they know that they are certainly liars despite that they are scientist of physics, but they do not want to give up the certain true scientific cosmic principle of physics since Allah created the heavens and earth; that it should not be for crescent of the new month to be born before the central pairing for the sun and the moon (alignment), so that’s a single unified physical cosmic rule for that two humans of astronomers of the physicists do not dispute over it, whether the Muslims or polytheists or atheists. In fact, the moment of the central pairing (alignment) for the sun and moon occurs in a universal moment calculated by the hour, minute and second; so the night of the dark moon would be towards the earth. This is what the physicists astronomers found upon the actual reality with no doubt nor suspicion by the mathematics of physics in the finest precision 1+1=2 .
