The Nomiki Show

Today is a very important day, because it is the last day of voting in Bessemer, Alabama, where Amazon workers are determining whether they want to form a union. Nomiki Konst opens today’s show by reminding us of the global struggle workers face, at Amazon and elsewhere. This vote could have a momentous ripple effect for labor everywhere.

Then, former Amazon employee Chris Smalls talks to us about what he witnessed working at Amazon, and what he’s learned since he left. For today’s panel, Napoleon da Legend and Joshua Kahn Russell discuss the trial of Derek Chauvin, Gov. DeSantis’ fearmongering, and the ineptitude of the Democratic Party (featuring Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden).
