The stakes are high for Amazon. Starting February 8th, workers at their Bessemer, Alabama warehouse will be voting whether to unionize or not. If they vote to do so, it will be the first Amazon warehouse in the U.S. to have union representation. This could have a big impact on the company as other warehouses could also push for the same. In the meantime, Amazon is doing everything they can to discourage workers from voting yes. Jay Greene, reporter at the Washington post, joins us for more.
Next, there is a lot of concern about the coronavirus variants floating around, especially as we are making a hard push to get as many people vaccinated as we can. One of the big questions with all of this is why are these different strains emerging now? One answer to this is time. The virus has always been mutating since the beginning and these variants can be a response to increasing herd immunity, response to treatments, and evolutionary changes due to the time it has been circulating. Brian Resnick, senior science reporter at Vox, joins us for more on the Covid variants.
