Christian Smalls is an American labor organizer known for his role in leading Amazon worker organization in Staten Island, NYC. He is the president and the founder of the Amazon Labor Union.

Amazon Labor Unoin

On April 20, 2021, Smalls established the Amazon Labor Union (ALU)[1], backed by his labor-activist group, TCOEW.[2]

On April 1, 2022, the workers at JFK8 voted 2,654–2,131 in favor of the union.[3] Smalls told a crowd that "We did whatever it took to connect with these workers" and "I hope that everybody's paying attention now because a lot of people doubted us."
