In the early days of the COVID pandemic, warehouse worker Chris Smalls and his colleagues continued showing up as the rest of the world was shutting down. When coworkers around him began falling ill, and with no assurances of safety coming from those in charge, he staged a walkout. What began as a demand to keep essential employees safe in a crisis would grow into a movement. An eye-opening account of the creation of the Amazon Labor Union, "When the Revolution Comes" offers a searing exposé of what it’s like to be working class in America.
Chris Smalls will be in conversation with Kathy Gilsinan, Author and Senior Editor at Puck News.
Books available from Left Bank Books.
