When Chris Smalls, the president of the first union at an Amazon warehouse in the U.S., visits classrooms, he says the 10-year-old students know who Jeff Bezos is — and often criticize him.
Smalls, who was in Seattle for a labor convention Tuesday, takes that as a sign the labor movement and unions overall are doing something right.
"I was a worker who got fired, that's all I was. And I'm still that person," Smalls said. "I'm doing something that's going to help, hopefully, the children I'm raising and future generations."
