The 33-year-old is fighting the fight for all workers, but he's also making history by igniting a labor movement.
CBS2's Thalia Perez spoke to Smalls on Friday about how he's igniting the labor movement and inspiring others.
"You're talking about one of the richest retailers in modern day history versus workers that make less than $30,000 a year. It doesn't get any more of a Cinderella story than that," Smalls said."It was obviously the smear campaign that Jeff Bezos tried to sign off on, calling me inarticulate, and they said it to make me the face of unionizing against Amazon," Smalls said.
"You would probably think that we're crazy for doing this, but, you know, once again, we can't decide on lunch, but we can decide on what we want in the contract," Smalls said.
