Employees at the online retailer’s fulfillment center in the borough of Staten Island, known as JFK8, secured a majority by voting 2,654 to 2,131 in support of the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), or about 55% in favor, according to a count released on Friday by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The two year legal battle was put to rest with a settlement, which will see two of the six fired workers get their jobs back
Amazon reportedly hired a union avoidance consultant who told workers that union organisers were “thugs”.
