All Eyes on Bessemer: Ground Zero in the Fight for Workers’ Rights

March 23, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

OWLS Meeting: Tuesday, March 23, 6:30pm

Warehouse workers at Amazon fulfilment centers confront brutal conditions and poverty pay. This reality has sparked a union drive in Bessemer, Alabama, led by Black women workers. The month-long vote will end on March 28. OWLS looks at the rich history of labor organizing in Bessamer, solidarity built between the civil rights and labor movements, and the current struggle to beat an anti-labor goliath that has kept  its U.S. shops union free – until now.
