Amazon Defeats Unionization Attempt in Alabama Vote
An attempt to unionize an Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Alabama warehouse workforce appears to have failed, as more than 70% of the approximately 2,500 employees who cast votes rejected the call to organize, The New York Times reports.
Despite labor troubles, complaints stretching back to COVID-19's start, and highly intrusive surveillance of workers, including monitoring their yawns, the company's claim of providing good jobs appears "vindicated," a University of Washington tech company history researcher remarked. The same researcher, Margaret O'Mara, said union organizers may now consider "maybe this isn't worth trying in other places" following the sharp rebuke to their unionization efforts.
