    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The leader of Amazonā€™s sole successful unionization effortĀ said on Monday that American workers canā€™t rely on the DemocraticĀ Party toĀ secure better pay and conditions.

    The union leader deliveredĀ his remarks the week afterĀ Amazon founderĀ Jeff Bezos reclaimed his title from Elon Musk as the worldā€™s richest man.

    Smalls rocketed to national prominence in April 2021, when the union effort he helped lead organized a Staten Island Amazon warehouse ā€” where he charged bosses had attempted to cover up COVID-19Ā cases.

    Seth Goldstein, an attorney who represents both the ALUĀ and the labor group Trader Joeā€™s United, told the AP that the companiesā€™ actionsā€™ were Ā ā€œvery frightening.ā€

    In late 2022, several members of the ALUā€™sĀ executive board stepped down in protest over what they portrayed as Smallsā€™ disorganized and authoritarian leadership style.

    The ALU inner circle, dissident membersĀ wrote in a July lawsuit, ā€œrefuse to hold membership meetings, they have unilaterally ā€˜amendedā€™ the constitution to keep themselves in power indefinitely, they have threatened their opponents, most of whom made up the core group which won the Amazon election in the first place, and, most importantly, they refuse all efforts to have a fair, democratic, election.ā€
