  • ... that Derrick Palmer and Chris Smalls, leaders of the Amazon Labor Union, were named two of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022? Source: The 100 Most Influential People of 2022, Derrick Palmer and Chris Smalls
    At a time of extreme and growing income and wealth inequality, the working class of this country is courageously fighting back and telling billionaires and the most powerful corporations on the planet that they cannot have it all.
    There’s no greater example of the growing grassroots movement for economic justice on the job than the creation of the Amazon Labor Union, led by Christian Smalls and Derrick Palmer. Despite having very few financial resources as an independent union—and facing intense union-busting tactics that the National Labor Relations Board has deemed illegal­—they rallied workers to defeat one of the largest corporations in America.
    What they did is nothing short of historic. It sends a powerful message to the working class of this country that now is the time to stand up to corporate greed and demand better wages, benefits, and working conditions. The Amazon Labor Union’s victory on Staten Island could well be the beginning of a resurgent and powerful trade-union movement in this country which will improve life for all working Americans. Thank you, Christian and Derrick." Time

  • @Thriley: The article was moved from the draft-space on 2 Nov and nominated for DYK on 14 Nov. I'm willing to IAR pass if you can explain why you didn't nominate when the article was new, and if all of the other criteria are met. – dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 16:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
