A Union Drive at Amazon

Since its earliest days, Amazon has been anti-union, successfully quashing any attempt by workers to organize.

We look at how their effort came together and what it means for the nature of work in savvy, growing companies like Amazon.

Guest: Michael Corkery, a business reporter for The New York Times.
