Amazon (AMZN) warehouse workers at a facility in New York City have voted to form the first US union in the tech giant's 27-year history, marking a stunning victory for a bootstrapped effort led by a fired employee.
In a closely watched election, workers at a Staten Island, New York, facility known as JFK8 voted in favor of forming a union with a newly-established organization called Amazon Labor Union (ALU), which was started by current and former warehouse employees.
Looking back, the Governor and the NYC mayor, both Democrats, were willing to give Amazon the best location in Queens, and a 3 Billion Dollars credit without asking of unionize workers. Go figure. Just a thought.
