Amazon workers at a warehouse on Staten Island rejected the union almost 2 to 1. A larger warehouse nearby did vote for the union in April 2022.

Re: Amazon Workers Reject Union
Just to clarify-that warehouse is located in the Albany area which is nowhere near Staten Island. And I'm sure the company put the pressure on those people to make sure things went their way which is pretty much SOP for them-(unfortunately.)

I thought maybe there were two doing it at the same timeTW-Upstate NY wrote: ↑October 19th, 2022, 10:32 am Just to clarify-that warehouse is located in the Albany area which is nowhere near Staten Island.

To be exactly technical, it is in Schodack, which is a town about 10(ish) miles from downtown Albany via an Interstate (and this warehouse can be seen from said highway, though it is accessed from a US Route on the opposite side).
They had a couple things going on, including a locally televised event to support people voting for (or against, I guess) the union by a group that was working on trying to get one in, so I'm not sure just how much could have been done to pressure people to go against it.

Re: Amazon Workers Reject Union
You would be surprised at the creative lengths that companies will take to prevent unions inside their business (legal, illegal, overt, clandestine, gentle, rough, etc.).
