Dude is, no joke at all, one of the most important singular figures in modern history. This first domino, along with many other union drives happening rn, is the beginning of a new american labor movement. The capitalist class is scared, and they should be.

Well said, and absolutely true. Chris Smalls is a legit hero. He created a true grassroots movement that accomplished what labor union advocacy firms had been trying, and failing, to do for the last decade (maybe longer?). Amazon was and is absolutely terrified of Chris Smalls and everything he stands for. And if Amazon's scared, then so is the rest of the corporate class.

Let's see if Trump comes back in office and the Labor Movement is gutted. Having a President support unions and a willing Labor Secretary who punished amazon's anti-union actions is key. When/If Trump comes back it'll be the opposite.

If Americans get cheaper access to higher education, we reinvest in Technical schools in particular (to increase the amount of Americans that can work in Engineering and logistics), and we can address the housing crisis, combined with this new labour movement, we might actually get a big redistribution of wealth to the middle class, a decent generation of social mobility, and a bright future. If we can protect voting rights then we can address campaign finance reform too. All the ingredients are there, we just have to get rid of the filibuster so we can start cooking. I just get scared that this is what they’re permitting us to do so we don’t address those other things to keep improving the country, and we take the short term win, and we’re happy, and that’s it. Campaign finance reform in particular is one Im scared they want us to ignore.

As an Amazon delivery driver, this man is a fucking hero. I remember seeing the news about him protesting while delivering packages, I honestly never expected them to win because of how huge Amazon is.

I hope you get better working conditions or a better job soon, whichever you prefer. I don't order from Amazon, but have only respect for delivery and postal workers. It's a hard job and it's essential work. Without you, so many people would suffer, and that's no joke. People who are ill, elderly, housebound - delivery drivers and workers are a godsend.

@@TwoMarshmallows1 honestly, I'm hoping to just find employment elsewhere. I started working right before the pandemic started and it has been the toughest job to say the least. Also, I feel like the delivery side of Amazon is something that can't be reformed since we don't technically work for Amazon. Every driver works for a DSP that is employed by Amazon exclusively.

That's the story! Apparently they didn't take him seriously because he dresses like that and that's why they were able to win the first union drive.

Dude took on Jeff Bezos and won, and THEN he took a photo with the President in the Oval Office with some Eat The Rich drip on. Legend.

So dope that he was given a platform on this show. Much respect.

Bezos hates this man. I hope Chris Smalls is a major piece in America bringing unions back. Workers have always had to fight for their rights. Those with the power almost always are going to exploit us. Power to the people.

This reminds me of an interview they would have done on the Vice show. I’ll take interviews like this over interviews with Hollywood D-bags, every time. It’s nice to see them using the platform to give time to Chris.

There’s room for both bro. Be open minded. Got to reach all audiences

Glad you guys are actually giving him a platform too, a lot of these “journalists” are too scared to go after their Daddy Jeff.

What?!?! Y’all getting some great guests bravo!!! Amazon underestimated this man to their detriment…said he was “inarticulate”. Now he’s their biggest nightmare

You don’t have to be a suit and tie…..you are a legend my guy

LOCAL UCFW MEMBER WE STAND WITH YALL ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 now unionize the warehouses in the Bay Area

Respect for having him as a guest. He deserves a big platform.

That's a real American hero ✊

They underestimated him and didn’t take him seriously-BIG MISTAKE!! 💪🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The brand is in solidarity 💪🏾✊🏾

God bless and protect him. The Brand supports workers.

Yes yes the brand is for the people!! Full solidarity with my man Chris Smalls! 💪✊

I'm stoked you guys had him on!

would LOVE to see more people-based politics from D&M❤️❤️❤️

Solidarity for the Amazon Workers. We need more unionization, the only way to fight for a better life.

Now this is an illustrious guest!

Thank you for having this man on. History is being made right before our eyes!!

Amazon workers ALL OVER THE WORLD celebrate this victory!

Bless you, Chris Smalls. I hope you and your union continue to thrive. Companies could still make plenty of money while treating people right, but it's all about oppression.

Literally the only thing giving me hope is ppl like Chris Smalls. The few decent ppl we get elected, are marginalized by the corp Dems, (& the GOP is just straight evil) so my electoral hopes are dead. But grassroots organizers are the ones getting it done.

This guy is our generations civil rights leader

YOOOO BIG UPS FOR HAVING HIM ON!

Very inspiring news! Truly Flipped the script on Bezos! That was a brutal work experience for two years, and a few peak seasons. I put up with all the crap until they started penalizing us for their glitchy scanners, then I couldn't take any more of it seriously. Awesome to see better times ahead for those workers... As far a as all those half a freakin' torso orders go, I would always try to delude myself into thinking maybe it was going to some artsy crafty fashion sewing expert. Was a better visual than a mad scientist incel, eagerly awaiting it "My torso has arrived!" 🤓

That was a great interview, so intro hear what he had gone through. Amazon treats their employees poorly at best, I worked at a fulfillment center for a couple of months til I got hurt on the job and then was treated like cancer.

Why I love this show. If this man was not picking items but was describing picking cotton and cut out the check what he described would be slavery. He persisted.

A working class hero!

A man of the people. A man for times such as this. He lost his job just to protect others and stand up for himself. Greatness!!!
