Amazon Workers Reject Unionization in North Carolina
In a surprising turn of events, Amazon workers in North Carolina voted against a unionization proposal this past week. Approximately three-quarters of employees at an Amazon fulfillment center in Garner, a town located near Raleigh, cast their votes against joining a grassroots organization called Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment. The National Labor Relations Board reported that 2,447 workers voted against the union while only 829 supported it.
Details of the Vote
- Voting took place from Monday through Saturday.
- A total of 4,300 Amazon workers were eligible to vote in this election.
- The workers' rejection reflects a significant challenge in union representation efforts for Amazon.
Rev. Ryan Brown, a co-founder of the labor group and a former Amazon employee, commented on the decision, highlighting the complex dynamics at play within the workforce.
