Let’s talk about the big Amazon labor story. No, the other one. - a podcast by Marketplace

With your regular hosts on spring break this week, Kimberly Adams is joined by Marketplace workplace culture reporter Meghan McCarty-Carino to talk all things Amazon. The Bessemer, Alabama, union vote isn’t the only labor issue facing the nation’s second-largest private employer. Plus: The changing face of vaccine hesitancy, cicada season and First Contact Day.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “Amazon’s Clashes With Labor: Days of Conflict and Control” from The New York Times


• “Amazon Illegally Fired Activist Workers, Labor Board Finds” also from The New York Times


• “Vaccine skepticism runs deep among white evangelicals in US” from the Associated Press


• Some “Star Trek” content for First Contact Day


• “The Biggest Party of 2021 Is About to Start” from The Atlantic

Finally: We need your voice memos! Tell us what you think of the show or ask a question for Kai Ryssdal and Molly Wood to answer! Here’s how to do it.
