Amazon Delivery— Domestic and International Labor Practices Location: 253ABC Amazon is the world’s largest e-commerce company and the second largest U.S. employer.

The workshop will also feature an international perspective from Marcio Monzane, regional secretary of UNI Americas, part of UNI Global Union, NALC’s international federation, about how unions worldwide must work together on strategies to overcome Amazon and other multinational delivery company’s anti-union and anti-competitive practices with the long-term goal of helping those workers unionize and secure collective-bargaining rights, raising the wages and working conditions for all workers in those industries.
