The election is to determine whether a majority of the employees at the newly opened Amazon Fulfillment Center (BHM1) in Bessemer a small of suburb of Birmingham, Alabama want union representation.
Amazon was represented at the hearing by the law firm Morgan Lewis a firm that specializes in “union avoidance” strategies. In dispute was the size of the bargaining unit.
The union had petitioned the Labor Board on November 20 with the support of at least 30 percent of a workforce that it calculated at 1,500. Obviously seeking to invalidate the union’s petition, the company countered that the appropriate bargaining unit was more than 5,700! The hearing took evidence from both parties and the hearing officer will decide who is right.
