Tevita Uhatafe proudly wore a Texas union cap and shirt as he marched toward New York City’s Times Square in a rally on Labor Day. Lest people forget where he had traveled from, he periodically unfurled his Tarrant County labor flag to don as a cape.
Alongside him was Chris Smalls, the organizer who led the historic Amazon warehouse union vote earlier this year, shouting chants through a megaphone. Once they arrived at their destination, Smalls passed it off to Uhatafe.
“The South is ready to organize!” Uhatafe said, labor flag in hand. “And we are inviting … any damn person who wants to unionize — come to the South!”
