Jan. 16, 2023 | U.S. LABOR UNIONS | A federal labor agency on Wednesday certified an independent union’s landmark victory at Amazon’s Staten Island warehouse and threw out a litany of objections filed by the e-retailer. In April 2022, a majority of the roughly 8,300 workers at Amazon’s Staten Island warehouse, known as JFK8, voted to join the Amazon Labor Union, becoming the company’s first unionized facility in the U.S. Amazon sought to overturn the results of the election, alleging the National Labor Relations Board office that oversaw the election interfered in the union drive. Amazon also claimed that the ALU intimidated workers into voting in their favor. CNBC
