Can workers take on the world's biggest corporations — and win?
For decades, corporate power seemed untouchable. But a new generation of workers is fighting back. From Amazon to Starbucks, a new generation of organisers is challenging some of the world's most powerful companies—and winning.
This week on The Tea, we're joined by legendary labour organiser and bestselling author Chris Smalls, the man behind Amazon's first-ever independent labour union. In his new book, When the Revolution Comes, he reveals what it really takes to challenge corporate power—and why the fight is far from over.
Also in the show:
⚡ Inside Amazon's surveillance culture—and the two-minute mistake that got Chris fired
⚡ Why Amazon's injury rates remain the highest in the industry
⚡ The hidden human cost behind next-day delivery
⚡ How the Amazon Labour Union forced changes without a contract
⚡ How the US labour movement is failing the working class
⚡ Crashing the Met Gala to take on Jeff Bezos
⚡ From Amazon to Gaza: Why solidarity has no borders
As Chris puts it, we gave up our freedoms and handed unprecedented power to one of the richest corporations on Earth. Taking it back means rethinking where we shop and recognising our collective strength.
