Amazon Labor Union's Chris Smalls faces off against Sen. Graham on workers
CNN
The president of the Amazon Labor Union warned Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday that he risks ignoring the concerns of workers at his own political peril.
At the opening of a Senate Banking Committee hearing focused on Amazon (AMZN (AMZN)), in which Graham used his initial remarks to blast the "demonization of individual companies," Christian Smalls — the Amazon Labor Union head who helped lead a successful union vote in Staten Island last month — told the panel's ranking Republican that it's in his "best interest" to listen to workers.
Citing the legal process for challenging illegal anti-union activity, Graham had criticized the committee's chair, Sen. Bernie Sanders, for holding a "dangerous" hearing that relied on the presumption that "you've determined Amazon is a piece of crap company."

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been tracking abortion trends for decades, but this year’s report — including some of the earliest federal data reflecting the effect of significant changes to abortion access nationwide – has been pushed back until spring amid turmoil at the federal agency.
