'We wanna thank Jeff Bezos, cause while he was up in space we was signing people up.' Amazon workers in New York are the first to unionize in the retail giant's history.
Workers at the JFK8 Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, N.Y. approved the formation of the online retail giant’s first union Friday, organizing as part of the Amazon Labor Union by a 500-plus vote margin. Of the roughly 5000 workers at the fulfillment center, 2,654 voted in favor of unionization.ALU president and former JFK8 warehouse manager Christian Smalls
The victory ends a near two-year struggle by the ALU to organize workers in the New York City area that saw the scope of the effort shift and Amazon retaliate against organizers.
