Amazonians United: A new trap for workers
Last month, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) lost its unionization vote at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama by a more than two-to-one margin. The RWDSU, which relied on the backing of the Biden administration, Democratic members of Congress and even right-wing Republican Senator Marco Rubio, was incapable of generating any significant support from workers.
As the
World Socialist Web Site has explained in a numberofarticles analyzing the RWDSU union drive, from the outset the effort was a top-down operation, an initiative of the Democratic Party and AFL-CIO, rather than an expression of workers’ opposition from below.

Wim Conklin has served as Country Program Director for the Solidarity Center Cambodia for the past five years and has worked on international labor programs in South and Southeast Asia since 1994.
In recent years he has also worked closely with garment workers and their employers and the hotel industry. Both sectors have been severely punished by the COVID-19 virus, which has escalated in Cambodia with authorities scrambling to rollout the government’s vaccination program.
Conklin spoke with Luke Hunt about the plight of low-paid workers in Cambodia, the difficulties they are facing due to the pandemic, and what industry needs to do once the virus subsides.

The Nigeria Labour congress (NLC) has urged the Federal Government to domesticate the ILO Convention 190 (C190) to discourage Gender-Based Violence and Harassment (GBVH) in workplaces.
The Head of Department, Women and Youth, NLC, Mrs Rita Goyit, made the appeal at a virtual workshop for Labour journalists on Sunday.
Goyit expressed concern that Nigeria had not ratified or domesticated the convention, two years after the C190 was adopted in Geneva, Switzerland.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the workshop supported by Solidarity Centre AFL-CIO, a non-profit organisation, is part of activities by the NLC to observe the 2021 International Women’s Day.
Speaking at a virtual workshop in collaboration with Solidarity Centre AFL-CIO for labour correspondents at the weekend, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, the Head, Women and Youth Department of NLC, Rita Goyit, said ratification and domestication of the Convention 190 would make workplaces free from violence and harassment, boost productivity AND put Nigeria on the list of countries promoting human rights.
Earlier, Deputy Chairperson, National Women Commission of NLC, Salamatu Aliu, said her group would not back down on its campaigns against GBVH “until government and employers do the needful to protect women in Nigeria.”
Senior Programme Officer, Solidarity Center AFL-CIO, Nkechi Odinukwe, listed displacement, armed conflict, terrorism, migration and increased globalization of economic activities and COVID-19 pandemic as factors compounding woes of women across 36 states of the federation.
