How to Fight Power by Building Power

If you're an Amazon employee in California, you're in luck.

A group called PowerSwitch Action is fighting back against what it calls "outsized and entrenched corporate power" with a strategy it calls "the only worker-centered effort to rein in corporate excess when corporations can reshape government."

The group has seven local affiliates in the state, and they're fighting back against big-box retailers, banks, developers, and other corporate influences on local governance, reports Gizmodo.
