"Amazon is once again asking the National Labor Relations Board to direct thousands of the company's warehouse workers at an Alabama facility to cast votes in-person on whether to form a union, rather than by mail, despite the ongoing pandemic.
The e-commerce giant filed a motion Thursday to delay the union election, which is set to begin February 8, so that the NLRB may revisit its decision to hold the election by mail over the course of nearly two months instead of through an in-person event.
The NLRB declined to comment on Amazon's request.
While some Amazon workers are unionized in Europe, the company has so far fended off unions in the United States. A union election was held in 2014 at a Delaware warehouse, but resulted in workers largely rejecting the effort.
The NLRB said last week that the approximately 6,000 employees at Amazon's Bessemer, Alabama, facility would cast a vote by mail, noting the health risks from the pandemic."
All during a pandemic... goes to show corruption is deep, Trump tried to do the same but failed like he usually does.
