Amazon NYC Warehouse Workers Support Union in Historic Labor Win
Amazon.com workers at a New York warehouse voted to join an upstart labor union, a historic victory that gives organized labor its first foothold in the company's U.S. operations. Bloomberg adds: The election at Amazon's JFK8 fulfillment center in Staten Island wasn't close. With only a few hundred ballots left to count, the Amazon Labor Union led with 2,300 yes votes versus 1,855 no votes for Amazon. The victory is a watershed moment for Amazon. The Seattle-based company has managed to keep unions out of its U.S. operations for more than a quarter-century. Unless the company can get the result overturned, Amazon will have to start contract negotiations that potentially could hamper its ability to adjust work requirements and scheduling on the fly. The outcome also could embolden workers and labor activists to try to organize other Amazon facilities and even spill over into other industries.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
