"I think it's almost impossible to exaggerate the significance of that victory of Amazon. I mean, this really is the most important union victory in 100 years."

"But the campaign itself, which was really kind of remarkable because it was what I would call sort of worker led self-organization. I mean, all of the activists in the campaign, all of the key people were just Amazon warehouse workers."

++PARTIALLY COVERED++
"I'm really not sure. Not not just that the Amazon labor union would not have been successful two or three years ago. I actually don't think any union would have been successful two or three years ago. We're in a different moment right now. And they were able to take advantage of that."

++PARTIALLY COVERED++
"A lot of the workers at Staten Island and also at Bessemer, we had an election down there that was very, very close, simply felt that they weren't being treated justly. They weren't being treated with respect. And the Amazon labor union, to its great credit, was able to convince to persuade them that the way to get respect at work was by having a seat at the bargaining table through the Amazon labor union."

"The most direct comparison is probably Starbucks. They had two victories in Buffalo, New York, last December. It's now spread to over 170 stores have filed for union elections. They've won 10 out of the 11 elections have taken place so far. So Amazon desperately wants to avoid that type of contagion."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Prof. John Logan, Director of Employment and Labor Studies at San Francisco State University:
"First contracts can be really difficult for unions. Negotiations can drag on for months and months and months because the companies deliberately through delaying tactics through so-called hard bargaining. But Amazon is going to be in the spotlight like no other company."
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Prof. John Logan, Director of Employment and Labor Studies at San Francisco State University
++PARTIALLY COVERED++
"The American public has a far more direct relationship with Starbucks and Amazon than it ever did with General Motors or Ford in the 1930s and 1940s."
