Amazon, Starbucks and new frontiers in labor organizing

Friday morning’s electrifying session focused on new frontiers in organizing, from Amazon to Starbucks to green jobs. It featured AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler, Amazon Labor Union President Chris Smalls, and Starbucks organizers Richard Bensinger, Kylah Clay and Jordie Adams. With Americans’ approval of labor unions at its highest point since 1965, the moment is now. “If we don’t step up, who will?” asked Shuler.
