Amazon Union Faces Internal Turmoil Over Leadership and Direction

A dissident group within the Amazon Labor Union has filed a complaint seeking to force a leadership election.
The dissident group, known as the ALU Democratic Reform Caucus, reflects a growing split within the union.
The complaint alleges the union has illegally postponed officer elections and made unauthorized changes to bylaws.
Union president Christian Smalls has dismissed the complaint and threatened sanctions against the reform group's lawyer.
Critics feel Smalls focuses too much on public appearances rather than the contract fight and organizing efforts.
