During a Senate hearing on Thursday, Bernie Sanders said Amazon ‘has done everything possible – legal and illegal – to defeat union organizing efforts’

and its chairman at a hearing on the company’s labour practices as he pushed the White House to end government contracts for the retailer.

“I don’t think Amazon is an organized criminal syndicate,” Kaine said, adding he backs efforts to make it easier for workers to unionize. “Amazon employs a million Americans – not everybody hates their jobs at Amazon.”“Given all your wealth, how much do you need? Why are you doing everything in your power, including breaking the law, to deny Amazon workers the right to join a union so that they can negotiate for better wages, better working conditions and better benefits?” Sanders asked.

Later in the day, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will host a White House meeting with Smalls and labour leaders seeking to represent workers at Amazon, Starbucks Corp and other employers. A White House official said the meeting aims to show that the administration “is supportive of their efforts to empower workers.”
