When the Revolution Comes: A Story About Capitalism

內容簡介

內容簡介 「在雲端奴役的時代，克里斯·斯莫斯（Chris Smalls）是解鎖的普羅米修斯。他的書是我們斬斷亞馬遜枷鎖、重拾希望與尊嚴的操作手冊。」——雅尼斯·瓦魯法克斯（Yanis Varoufakis）一段令人震驚、目瞪口呆的真實故事，講述一個男人如何挑戰企業巨頭並獲得勝利。作為一名盡職且經驗豐富的亞馬遜員工，克里斯·斯莫斯對這家零售巨頭的內部運作感到沮喪——他在升遷中屢次被忽視，且幾乎得不到任何解釋。因此，當他的同事和朋友在新冠疫情中相繼病倒，而高層卻沒有提供安全保障甚至病假時，他做出了唯一的選擇：與朋友德里克·帕默（Derrick Palmer）發起罷工，最終發現自己失去了工作，站在糾察線上。最初只是為了在危機中保障必要員工的安全，這項訴求隨後演變成一場致力於為受薪工人爭取尊嚴與保障的運動，並引發了星巴克、Trader Joe's、蘋果以及世界各地組織者的連鎖反應。我們跟隨斯莫斯作為三個孩子的父親，在多年的犧牲與經濟不穩定中，從為了維持生計與倉庫管理政治博弈，到晉升為新世代勞工運動的領袖。《當革命來臨時》（When the Revolution Comes）是一個引人入勝的內幕故事，講述一名來自新澤西州哈肯薩克、幾乎沒有資源的年輕黑人，如何帶領一群史泰登島倉庫工人，在與亞馬遜的一場看似不可能的戰鬥中建立了首個工會。這是一部對資本主義實驗室生活的揭露，也是對美國工人階級現狀的驚人描繪；本書講述了一個全新的、充滿賦權感的故事：當那些過度勞累、薪資偏低且失去權力的人們團結起來，形成一個源於社區的運動時，一切皆有可能。'In an age of cloud serfdom, Chris Smalls is Prometheus unbound. His book is our instruction manual for cutting Amazon’s knot and reclaiming hope and dignity' YANIS VAROUFAKISThe outrageous, jaw-dropping true story of the man who took on a corporate giant – and won.A dedicated and experienced Amazon employee, Chris Smalls had begun to feel frustrated by the inner workings of the retail giant – he kept being passed over for promotion, with little to no explanation. So when his colleagues and friends began falling ill in the Covid pandemic, and with no assurances of safety or even sick leave from the top, he made the only choice left available to him. He staged a walkout with friend Derrick Palmer, eventually finding himself on the picket line without a job.What began as a demand to keep essential employees safe in a crisis would grow into a movement devoted to achieving dignity and security for the wage worker, triggering a groundswell of organizers at Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, Apple – and across the world. We follow Smalls’s years of sacrifice and economic uncertainty as a father of three, from fighting warehouse managerial politics in an effort to make ends meet, to his ascension as the leader of a new generation’s labour movement.When the Revolution Comes is the riveting inside story of how a young Black man from Hackensack, NJ with little-to-no resources led a scrappy band of Staten Island warehouse workers in an improbable fight against Amazon to create its first Labor Union. An exposé of life lived in the laboratory of capitalism and a terrifying depiction of what it’s like to be working class in America, this book tells a new, empowering story of what is possible when the overworked, underpaid and disempowered join together, forming a movement born in community.
