Chris Smalls Goes to Cuba

Amazon Labor Union President Chris Smalls went to Cuba for May Day 2023.

But his fight to change U.S. policy toward the island didn’t stop there.

Named one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2022, Smalls grabbed international headlines during the pandemic for organizing employees of e-commerce giant Amazon into the first independent, worker-led union in U.S. history.
