US regulator says Amazonâs union victory in Alabama could be overturned
Amazonâs landmark victory over a closely watched effort to unionize a warehouse in Alabama could be overturned amid accusations that the e-tailing giant used illegal intimidation tactics to sway employee votes, according to a US regulator. All but one of 23 objections filed by a labor union to an employee vote on whether to unionize a facility in Bessemer, Ala., earlier this month could be grounds for overturning the election, acting regional director of the National Labor Relations Board Lisa Henderson said on Wednesday. A hearing is slated for May 7 to review the legal challenges the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union submitted after the vote was tallied on April 9. Amazon prevailed with 1,798 employees voting against a labor contract to 738 votes in favor. Just 2,536 employees out of 5,867 voted in the election, which took place during the month of March.
