In this episode, John Malmborg recounts a high-stakes moment at his Amazon warehouse where workers organized a “March on the Boss” in response to unsafe and dehumanizing break policy changes. Eliminating one of two paid breaks sparked a groundswell of worker resistance at SWF1 in Rock Tavern, NY. Over 200 employees signed a petition, 30 marched directly to management, and the footage reached millions across social media.
This episode chronicles the events leading up to the march, shares audio from the confrontation itself, and lays out the broader implications for Amazon workers and the labor movement at large. John shares his reflections as both a media producer and on-the-ground organizer, exploring what it means to challenge corporate power from the inside in a legally protected manner.
