Amazon.com Inc. has said it objects to a union victory at its JFK8 warehouse in the New York City borough of Staten Island on April 2, accusing the new union, Amazon Labor Union (ALU), of having threatened workers into voting.

The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said in an April 6 filing that it is giving Amazon until April 22 to provide further evidence to support its objections to the election.
