Union appears headed to defeat in Amazon.com election

  • Amazon workers at the warehouse in Bessemer voted to reject unionization by a more than 2-1 margin as of Friday morning, with a majority of the 3,215 ballots counted. More than 1,400 voted against forming a union, with some 600 ballots in favor.
  • In the latter case, the dispute would play out before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and then likely in a federal appeals court.
