WORKERS AT A SECOND AMAZON WAREHOUSE VOTED AGAINST JOINING THE AMAZON LABOR

AGAINST UNIONIZING.

A second Amazon warehouse, known as ALB1, has voted against joining the Amazon
Labor Union (ALU). More than 900 employees at the Amazon warehouse in Schodack,
New York, southeast of Albany, were eligible to vote in the union election,
according to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). 406 workers voted
against joining the ALU, while 206 voted to join, the NLRB said today (Oct. 18).

The election was the latest test of support for the ALU, which is seeking to
unionize workers at Amazon warehouses across the country. Though Amazon
employees at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island became the first in the U.S. to
unionize in April, the ALU lost an election at a second Staten Island warehouse
the following month. Workers at an Amazon facility in Bessemer have voted twice
against unionizing with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.




The ALU had called for higher wages and safer working conditions at ALB1. The
employee leading unionization efforts, Heather Goodall, told grassroots
publication Albany Proper in August that she and other organizers had been
asking Amazon to repair aisles where the company stores merchandise for fear
that heavy boxes could injure workers. At a recent rally another ALB1 worker
said Amazon had denied him workers’ compensation after he sustained a concussion
from being hit by two falling tables while driving a forklift.



A string of warehouse fires earlier this month, including one at ALB1,
intensified calls by the union for Amazon to address safety issues in its
facilities.

The loss is an additional blow to the unionization movement at the nation’s
second-largest employer. Workers at JFK8 have yet to begin negotiating a
contract with Amazon. The retailer alleges the NLRB and the ALU “improperly
influenced the outcome of the election,” and is still working to overturn it,
even though the NLRB dismissed its objections in September. Some ALU organizers
fear Amazon will take the case all the way to the Supreme Court before they come
to the bargaining table, a process that could take years.
