Filings for union elections increased nearly 60 per cent over the last year from the previous year, according to the federal labor board. Union elections among workers at the world’s largest online retailer followed a wave of organized labor action followed historic gains among the nation’s wealthiest people and its corporate titans despite the public health crisis and its economic fallout. Nothing changes we organize! do not be discouraged or sad be upset and talk to your coworkers.” will continue to organize and so should all of you. “Our leads should be extremely proud to have given their coworkers a right to join a Union. “Despite todays outcome I’m proud of the worker/organizers of LDJ5 they had a tougher challenge after our victory at JFK8,” he said on Twitter following the latest vote count. With Derrick Palmer, Mr Smalls and other current and former Amazon workers have helped spread the word about the union effort, relying on social media, barbecues and connections with workers without traditional union support through established trade groups. The union campaign ignited after Christian Smalls was fired in early 2020 for allegedly breaking the company’s safety guidelines after he staged a protest over what Mr Smalls and other Amazon workers have alleged are poor health protections against Covid-19. LDJ5, in addition to having fewer employees than the JFK8 facility, has other unique challenges, according to orgaisers: it has only been open since late 2020 (JFK8 opened in 2018), many workers are working part time, and there are fewer organisers in the LDJ5 warehouse. The Independent has requested comment from Amazon. “Mega-corporations continue to spend millions in union-busting fear tactics we continue to organize for a society not based on exploitation greed.”Īmazon Labor Union has filed more than 40 complaints of unfair labor practices against Amazon, while the company is seeking to toss out the results of the JFK8 election. “No matter the outcome of the election, workers are uniting for change at LDJ5, JFK8 around the world,” Amazon Labor Union said earlier on Monday. The union effort has galvanised organised labor and workers across the US and attracted high-profile support from members of Congress and labor leaders, who rallied with Amazon workers and supporters outside the facility as the election was underway.īoth campaigns faced well-financed efforts by Amazon leadership and management to keep union activity out of the company, from so-called “captive audience” meetings, anti-union literature, posters and messages to workers to attempts to undermine or delegitimise union leaders – efforts that mirror the company’s anti-union campaign in Bessemer, Alabama, where a union vote failed last year. The outcome follows massive, international momentum for the union following the successful election to unionise the larger JFK8 warehouse that sits next to the smaller LDJ5 facility on Staten Island.

The fight has just begun,” Amazon Labor Union said following the vote. “The organizing will continue at this facility and beyond. The votes represent 998 workers out of the more than 1,600 eligible voters at the facility. Workers at the LDJ5 facility in Staten Island voted 618 to 380 against forming a union, according to a vote count by the National Labor Relations Board on 2 May.
