HeadlineMar 29, 2021

Today is the deadline for mail-in ballots as nearly 6,000 Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama, decide whether to form the company’s first union. A “yes” vote could be a watershed moment for the U.S. labor movement. On Friday, Senator Bernie Sanders traveled to Bessemer.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Your message to people all over this country is stand up and fight back. You’re going to do it here. We could do it all over this country.”
