Amazon workers at the LDJ5 facility in Staten Island, New York, have voted against organizing with the Amazon Labor Union at a count of 618 nos to 380 yeses. The facility has around 1,600 workers in total and began its election last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long road to the election at LDJ5. In October 2021, the ALU petitioned the National Labor Relations Board<\/a> (or NLRB) to hold an election at four Staten Island facilities, including the sorting center. However, to make sure it had a sufficient showing of interest, the union refiled its petition<\/a> to only include the JFK8 facility. In February, the ALU filed a new petition<\/a> to hold an election for LDJ5, which was approved in March<\/a>. The ALU pulled off a historic victory<\/a> the next month, when workers at the JFK8 facility voted 2,654 to 2,131 in favor of unionization.<\/p>\n

The fight to unionize LDJ5 will likely not end here. At another Amazon facility in Bessemer, Alabama, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union successfully lobbied the NLRB (which oversees the votes) to hold another election, alleging that Amazon had interfered<\/a>. While the votes tallied in the redo signaled a loss for the union, a high number of contested ballots means that nothing is final yet<\/a>. The RWDSU has already submitted a complaint<\/a> accusing Amazon of interfering in the second Bessemer vote.<\/p>\n

After the count finished, the ALU tweeted<\/a> that it will continue organizing \u201cat this facility and beyond.\u201d It does still have to negotiate a contract with Amazon<\/a> for the workers at JFK8, as long as the results of the election aren\u2019t reversed (Amazon has submitted a complaint<\/a> that the union and NLRB \u201csuppressed and influenced votes\u201d at the facility). That process could take months and will likely require support from the facility\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

The ALU \u201cwill certainly contest the election,\u201d according to a statement from the group\u2019s lawyer given to Vice<\/em><\/a>. He continued to say that Amazon \u201cviolated laboratory conditions in this election with mandatory anti-union meetings,\u201d a practice that the NLRB has been seeking to end<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a statement emailed to The Verge<\/em>, Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said the company is \u201cglad that [its] team at LDJ5 were able to have their voices heard.\u201d<\/p>\n
