From Amazon employees forming their first union in Staten Island this April, to Congress intervening to stop a railroad workers' strike just a few weeks ago, it's been quite a year for labor. Axios' Emily Peck takes a look back at the year that was and what’s to come.

Plus, the surprising history of America’s favorite flowering Christmas plant.

And, Lionel Messi finally gets his World Cup.
