One of America’s largest labor unions passed a resolution Thursday designed to aid Amazon. com Inc. workers in eventually achieving a union contract, a move aimed at putting further labor pressure on the e-commerce giant following a recent failed unionization effort in Alabama.
Amazon defeated a high-profile union drive at a warehouse in Alabama earlier this year. But now the e-commerce giant could face a much larger campaign to unionize its US warehouse workers, launched by one of the biggest unions in the nation.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is putting funds towards helping Amazon workers obtain a union contract and achieve better working conditions.
