Amazon Union Vote
Enters Final Count.
The historic vote, which will determine whether
to form a union at Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama
fulfillment center, is now under review.
The official count is not set to start until
later this week after the ballots have been
verified by both Amazon and the union.
Amazon has fought off many efforts made by
the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union .
to become the first ever to organize at one of the e-commerce giant’s facilities in the United States.
The online retailer has been
urging employees to vote
against forming a union,
fearing a rise in organizing efforts.
We believe we have opened
the door to more organizing
around the country. , RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum
