Today, workers at Amazon\u2019s LDJ5 warehouse facility will vote on whether to organize with the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), the same union that pulled off a historic win<\/a> at another Staten Island, New York, facility earlier this month. With ballots scheduled to be counted on May 2nd, the election will last just one week. After months of slow buildup, workers are just a week away from learning whether their site will unionize \u2014 assuming there aren\u2019t any tiebreaker court fights of the kind that held up Bessemer\u2019s second vote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ALU is riding high after the election at the JFK8 facility, and it\u2019s fair to say momentum is on the side of the organizers. But the loss in the first Bessemer election<\/a> is still fresh, and the stakes are high. The results of this election could set the tone for future elections at Amazon facilities. After JFK8, the ALU said that it\u2019s heard from workers at dozens of other warehouses<\/a>, indicating that there\u2019s potential for widespread unionization at one of the US\u2019s largest employers<\/a>. But first, the union has to prove that it can continue to win.<\/p>\n

The campaign hasn\u2019t been easy. Amazon is still contesting the union\u2019s previous win and has doubled down on anti-union messaging, according to a report from Vice<\/em><\/a>. The company has reportedly escalated its campaign to get rid of pro-union signs and literature and has disciplined workers for organizing. (The National Labor Relations Board, a regulatory watchdog, has accused the company<\/a> of similar behavior<\/a> in other union drives.) The company has also reportedly ramped up captive audience meetings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
