Amazon workers’ union win sparks a new labor movement

Yesterday, President Biden praised a victory by Amazon workers in New York in their bid to unionize. About 55% of the workers at the Staten Island warehouse voted to form the first U.S. union at Amazon last week. Their victory is expected to spur union growth around the country. Plus, fresh sanctions against Russia after a civilian massacre. And, the role of tech in humanitarian work in Ukraine. Guests: Axios' Emily Peck, Dave Lawler, and Ina Fried.
