The U.S. National Labor Relations Board said Wednesday that Amazon.com Inc. and a group of New York workers have agreed tentatively on terms for a union election, and an organizer said the vote would take place late next month.

The agreement lays out the election’s timing and how to vote, the NLRB said, without providing details. According to labor organizer Christian Smalls, workers at Amazon’s “JFK8” warehouse in Staten Island will vote in person March 25–30.
