Chris Smalls: Linking workers rights and Palestinian liberation
Update: 2025-10-18
Description
Does grassroots organising have the power to hold governments and corporations accountable for genocide? And where does the US labour movement stand today? This week on Upfront Marc Lamont Hill speaks to labour organiser and activist Chris Smalls, who cofounded Amazon’s first US labour union. Smalls has also been a vocal critic of the United States’s complicity in the genocide in Gaza and argues that labour unions in the country have a role to play to stop Israel: “If our dock workers did the same as our brothers and sisters overseas, we wouldn't see a genocide,” he says.
