In the final week of the most-watched union drive in recent history, we take you to an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama. Workers here will vote on whether to form Amazon’s first-ever union in the U.S., which could deal a blow to one of the world’s richest men, and challenge the future of work as we know it. We meet with one of the workers leading that fight.MORE:CREDITS: This episode was reported by Lauren Kaori Gurley and Julia Nutter. Sound design and composition for this episode by Pran Bandi.
