Amazon warehouse workers have new chance to form union next month
Amazon workers at an Alabama warehouse will get another chance to unionize next month, after a federal labor board set a February date for the rerun election.
The fresh vote comes after an official at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found that Amazon had violated labor law in the union election held last year and ruled in November that workers must get another chance to vote.
The National Labor Relations Board said on Tuesdaythat workers at the plant in Bessemer would vote by mail in the new election. Ballots will be mailed out on 4 February and must be returned by 25 March. Counting starts three days later.
