书籍简介

克里斯·斯莫尔斯是当代美国劳工运动中具较影响力和较具感染力的人物之一，他为创建美国第一个亚马逊工会而奋斗的非凡故事，以及他为工人阶级发出的强有力的战斗号召。

在新冠疫情初期，当世界其他地方纷纷停工停产时，仓库工人克里斯·斯莫尔斯和他的同事们依然坚守岗位。作为一名敬业且经验丰富的亚马逊员工，斯莫尔斯对这家零售巨头的内部运作越来越感到失望，他已经感到自己濒临崩溃。因此，当他周围的同事开始生病，而管理层又没有提供任何透明度或安全保障时，他做出了选择。他和朋友德里克·帕尔默一起组织了罢工，却发现自己身处罢工队伍中，失去了工作。这场旨在保障危机中一线员工安全的诉求，逐渐演变成一场致力于维护美国工薪阶层尊严和保障的运动，并在全美各大知名企业——包括星巴克、Trader Joe's 和苹果——掀起了一股组织浪潮，为劳工权益带来了持久的变革。

《革命来临之时》讲述了一个引人入胜的内幕故事：一位来自新泽西州哈肯萨克、几乎一无所有的黑人青年，如何带领一群来自斯塔滕岛的仓库工人，与美国第二大私营雇主亚马逊展开了一场看似不可能的斗争，并取得了胜利。这部史诗般的“大卫战胜歌利亚”的故事，追溯了斯莫尔斯跌宕起伏的人生历程：从童年时期父亲频繁出入监狱，到早年追求音乐梦想；从他作为三个孩子的父亲，在经济拮据、挣扎求生的岁月里，与仓库管理层的政治斗争中挣扎求生，成为新一代劳工运动的领袖。

《革命来临之时》是一部深刻而又发人深省的亚马逊劳工联盟创建史，它既是对当今美国工人阶级生活现状的辛辣揭露，也是一部鼓舞人心的故事，讲述了当过度劳累、收入微薄、缺乏权力的人们团结起来，共同创造奇迹——一场诞生于社群的运动。

From one of the most electric and consequential figures to emerge from the contemporary American labor movement, the remarkable story of his battle to create the first Amazon union in the U.S. and a powerful call to arms on behalf of the working class

In the early days of the Covid pandemic, warehouse worker Chris Smalls and his colleagues continued showing up as the rest of the world was shutting down. A dedicated and experienced Amazon employee, increasingly frustrated by the inner workings of the retail giant, Smalls had already felt himself reaching a breaking point. So, when coworkers around him began falling ill, and with no transparency or assurances of safety coming from those in charge, he made the only choice left available to him. He staged a walkout with friend Derrick Palmer, eventually finding himself on the picket line without a job. But what began as a demand to keep essential employees safe in a crisis would grow into a movement devoted to achieving dignity and security for the American wage worker, sparking a groundswell of organizers at the most notable companies across the nation—including Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, and Apple—and leading to lasting change for labor.

When the Revolution Comes is the riveting inside story of how a young Black man from Hackensack, NJ with little-to-no resources led a scrappy band of Staten Island warehouse workers in an improbable fight against Amazon, the second largest private employer in the U.S., and won. This epic David-and-Goliath tale traces Smalls’ dramatic story, from a childhood spent navigating his dad’s stints in and out of prison to his early pursuits of a career in music; from his years of sacrifice and economic uncertainty as a father of three, fighting a miasma of warehouse managerial politics in an effort to make ends meet, as the leader of a new generation’s labor movement.

A deeply personal and eye-opening account of the creation of the Amazon Labor Union, When the Revolution Comes is both a searing exposé of what it’s like to be working class in America today as well as the empowering story of what is possible when the overworked, underpaid, and disempowered join together, a movement born in community.
