More than 70 percent of the employees of Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama, facility voted against joining a union, but that’s not the last word by far, especially if the Democrats’ PRO Act becomes law.
A total of 3,215 of the Amazon warehouse’s 5,800 employees cast mail-in ballots in the April 9 election, with 1,798, or 70.9 percent, voting against unionizing under the banner of the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union (RWDSU). The union needed 50 percent plus one to win.
