Amazon union struggle takes hold in Southern state with radical labor history – Liberation News

597 4 minutes read Voting is now underway in Alabama. What started as a clandestine meeting between a handful of BHM1 Amazon Fulfillment Center workers and Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union organizers is now a full-fledged union drive. Roughly 5,800 workers are voting by mail to form what could be the first labor union at any Amazon facility in the United States. Voting ends March 29. The historic campaign, if successful, could spark a wave of unionization around the country. Amazon, owned by the second richest man in the world Jeff Bezos, now employs 1.5 million workers worldwide. The only unionized facilities exist in Germany. After an unsuccessful attempt in New Jersey seven years ago, workers and organizers have fought long and hard to see what is now taking place in Bessemer, Ala.

More than 2,000 workers at a fulfillment center in the city of Bessemer, just outside Birmingham, have indicated support for a union election. An estimated 85 percent of the work force is Black, and their union drive which ties labor issues to Black Lives Matter and issues of racial equality illustrates the extent to which racism and class exploitation are tied up with each other.
