that an Amazon official warned unionization could bring pay cuts and other consequences for workers.
"A union victory today in Staten Island would be historic for the whole world," New York State Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes Thursday as the vote count rolled in."It would prove that ordinary working-class people can organize and fight against one of the globe's largest companies... and win. Our collective struggle is being tested today."
Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama are also voting—for the second time—on whether to form a union after the first election last year was "This fight is the spark of the 21st-century labor movement." As it stands, the Bessemer effort is trailing, with 53% of election participants voting against unionization, indicating a much closer outcome than the previous contest.statement"Every vote must be counted," said RWDSU president Stuart Appelbaum."Workers at Amazon endured a needlessly long and aggressive fight to unionize their workplace, with Amazon doing everything it could to spread misinformation and deceit.
"This moment is historic, and the workers in Bessemer, Alabama, have inspired working people all over the country and all over the world to fight for change at their workplaces, including other organizing at Amazon around the country," Appelbaum continued."This fight is the spark of the 21st-century labor movement."with the U.S. Labor Department, Amazon spent $4.3 million on anti-union consultants last year as the Seattle-based company worked to crush employee organizing.
