Black Agenda Radio · Chris Smalls on the Dock Worker Actions in Solidarity with Palestine

Chris Smalls is the founder of the Amazon Labor Union, the first independent worker-led union in the US and the first to successfully organize an Amazon warehouse. He joins us from London to discuss the dockworker actions at 21 Mediterranean ports attempting to shut down the shipment of military cargo destined for Israel. He discusses the need for solidarity, including labor union solidarity, with Palestine. He is also the author of a soon-to-be-published book, When the Revolution Comes: A Fight for the Future of the Working Class.
