Amazon, Starbucks and the sparking of a new American union movement

(Tiempo de lectura: 4 - 7 minutos)

April 1, 2022, may go down as a pivotal day in the history of American unions.

In a result that could reverberate in workplaces across the U.S., the independent Amazon Labor Union – first formed in 2020 by Chris Smalls, an Amazon worker fired for protesting what he saw as inadequate COVID-19 safety precautions – got the better of the previously successful anti-union efforts of the online retailer. It means that Smalls’ warehouse in Staten Island, New York, will be the first to have a unionized workforce.

Si les travaux de sociologie électorale, notamment en France, insistent sur l’existence de « variables lourdes » de l’abstention, les relations entre la participation électorale et le travail, malgré ses mutations, sont toujours structurantes.

Madeleine Albright saw US as an ‘indispensable nation’ and NATO expansion eastward as essential

(Tiempo de lectura: 3 - 5 minutos)

Madeleine Albright may have not coined the phrase “indispensable nation,” but she will always be associated with the concept.

By the time she became Secretary of State in 1997, the United States had become a beached superpower. During the Cold War, its forces had been deployed across the world for the explicit purpose of deterring Soviet aggression.
