On Staten Island, it made all the difference that the union was independent and led by workers from the warehouse, not managed by a large, outside organization.
“Since the nineteen-nineties, several well-established unions have tried and failed to organize at Amazon: the Communications Workers of America, the Teamsters, United Food and Commercial Workers, and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.

The September 2021 Scientific American included a description by the editors of the deplorable state of disaster relief in the US.

Kirk, Isabel Story, and Anna Clayfield is an extraordinary assemblage of articles, each addressing specific issues.
