Amazon Borrows From FedEx Playbook To Smoke Union Drive In Bessemer

by Tyler Durden By Mark Solomon of FreightWaves, There is no love lost between Jeff Bezos and Fred Smith, given the unpleasant break- up of their companies’ shipping marriage in 2019. Yet in decisively thwarting efforts to organize 5,800 workers at Amazon.com s Bessemer, Alabama warehouse, Bezos took a page right from the FedEx founder’s anti-union playbook. Other than about 5,000 unionized pilots that came over after FedEx acquired the old Flying Tiger Line cargo airline in 1988, and a smattering of workers at its FedEx Freight LTL unit, FedEx has remained non-union for its 50-year history. Smith and Co. have beaten back multiple organizing efforts by persuading FedEx workers that wages, benefits, working conditions and an open-door relationship makes third-party bargaining units irrelevant.

Photo by REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama voted against unionization on Thursday night. It was a big win for Amazon, the second largest employer in the U.S. after Walmart. The vote drew national attention as organizers pushed to create the first union at an American Amazon facility. “What you heard is tales of incredibly bad working conditions, people who are disrespected and they want a union to represent them,” Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders told MSNBC last month after meeting with Amazon warehouse workers. “So obviously if they win that organizing union drive and I hope they do it will not only be important to Amazon workers in Birmingham, it will spread all over this country to other Amazon warehouses.

Amazon Has the Votes to Defeat Union Effort in Alabama

MSN News A first-of-its kind vote to unionize an Amazon warehouse has failed. The company secured a majority of no votes on Friday, defeating an effort from the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Workers Union. By late Friday morning, the regional National Labor Relations Board had tallied 1608 no votes for Amazon, over half of the 3,215 votes cast. But the story isn’t over. The union has already filed an objection to the NLRB, arguing that Amazon violated labor law in the weeks leading up to the vote. It says it will also present evidence to the NLRB’s regional director to support what’s called an “unfair labor practice” complaint for “unlawfully interfering with the protected right of employees to engage in union activity.” If the NLRB agrees with the union, it may set aside Friday’s result, which would allow for a new election.
