Amazon.com Inc. appears to hold a commanding lead in a historic union election vote at one of its biggest warehouse facilities.
About half of the nearly 6,000 eligible workers at Amazon’s fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama, voted in the postal election in March aimed at certifying if the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union will be able to negotiate with Amazon on their behalf. Of the 3,215 ballots that were cast in the vote, the National Labor Relations Board said, more than 1,100 voted against unionization, while 463 votes indicated support.
The preliminary results put Amazon ahead by a 2-1 margin, with the counting for the vote expected to conclude Friday. The NLRB said there were more than a thousand ballots left uncounted, and that hundreds of ballots have been contested, mostly by Amazon.

Workers at Amazon's Alabama warehouse vote against joining union

Updated:
Amazon.com Inc. appears to have won a historic union election vote at one of its biggest warehouse facilities.
According to a Wall Street Journal count Friday morning, warehouse workers at Amazon’s fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama, voted not to unionize. With 72% of the 3,215 mail-in ballots, about half the nearly 6,000 eligible workers, about 71% voted against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.
The Journal noted that the National Labor Relations Board is still counting votes and has not yet declared a winner officially.
The vote is said to be the largest-ever group of Amazon workers to decide collectively whether or not to unionize. If the final result had gone the union’s way, the Bessemer fulfillment center could have become the first union of Amazon workers in the U.S.

Amazon union Alabama: When will they vote?

Attempts by Amazon to delay the vote in Bessemer have failed. So too have the company's efforts to require in-person voting, which organizers argue would be unsafe during the pandemic. Mail-in voting started this week and will go on until the end of March. A majority of the 6,000 employees have to vote “yes" in order to unionize.
Amazon, whose profits and revenues have skyrocketed during the pandemic, has campaigned hard to convince workers that a union will only suck money from their paycheck with little benefit. Spokeswoman Rachael Lighty says the company already offers them what unions want: benefits, career growth and pay that starts at $15 an hour. She adds that the organizers don't represent the majority of Amazon employees' views.
