Looks like Lord Bezos has beaten the peasant rebellion.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-56695667Amazon has defeated activists hoping to establish the company's first unionised warehouse in the US.
Workers at the Bessemer, Alabama warehouse voted 1,798 to 738 against the effort, labour officials said. That represents a majority of votes cast, though some ballots have been challenged and have yet to be counted.
The union said it would challenge the results.
It accused Amazon of interfering with the right of employees to vote in a "free and fair election", including by lying to staff about the implications of the vote in mandatory staff meetings and pushing the postal service to install a mailbox for the vote in an effort to intimidate workers.
