\n

Workers at an Amazon warehouse in New York City have voted to unionize, an historic first for workers at the e-commerce company. The final tally was 2,654 yes votes, and 2,131, with 67 challenges. The workers at the JFK8 fulfillment center in Staten Island will join the Amazon Labor Union, as the number of challenges is not sufficient to affect the outcome.<\/p>\n

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) determined in January<\/a> that unionization efforts at the facility had \u201creached a sufficient showing of interest\u201d to hold an election. The facility employs roughly 5,000 people.<\/p>\n

In a statement posted to its website<\/a> Friday, Amazon said it was \u201cdisappointed with the outcome of the election because we believe having a direct relationship with the company is best for our employees.\u201d The company is evaluating its options, the post says, \u201cincluding filing objections based on the inappropriate and undue influence by the NLRB\u201d that it claims it witnessed. The post didn\u2019t specify what \u201cinfluence\u201d it was referring to. <\/p>\n

The ALU has been trying to unionize Amazon workers in New York for nearly two years. In October 2021, it filed with the NLRB to hold a union election<\/a> for two Amazon facilities on Staten Island but later withdrew the request because it didn\u2019t have enough signatures. The union refiled in December<\/a>, focusing on just the JFK8 warehouse, which was the site of several worker protests and walkouts<\/a> during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Unlike the Bessemer unionization effort, the ALU is not affiliated with a national union or larger organization. It is the personal project of Christian Smalls, who was fired from the Staten Island site after organizing a walkout. After Friday\u2019s tally was announced Smalls told reporters<\/a> he wanted to thank former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos \u201cbecause while he was up in space we were signing people up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The JFK8 election is the first to approve a union for Amazon warehouse workers in the US. Following another union drive at Amazon\u2019s BHM1 facility<\/a> in Bessemer, Alabama, the NLRB ordered a re-do of an election held last year after it determined that Amazon had interfered with the first<\/a> election. On Thursday, the votes in Bessemer appeared to go against the union,<\/a> with 933 against and 875 in favor, but since the final result is so close, there will be a hearing on 416 challenged ballots. The hearing is expected to be scheduled in the next few weeks, and both the union and Amazon will have the opportunity to file any objections to the election over the coming month. <\/p>\n

Update April 1st 2:19PM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Adds statement from Amazon and remark from Smalls. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
