Hi,
Amazon is taking a page from Donald Trump's playbook. They filed a
complaint to the National Labor Relations Board seeking to overturn the
Amazon Labor Union's historic victory at a New York City warehouse.^1
Amazon's corporate leadership just can't accept that they lost. They spent
millions of dollars on union-busting and at the end of the day, the
warehouse workers weren't buying it. Amazon needs to accept reality, stop
fighting their work workers, and acknowledge the Amazon Labor Union.

The Staten Island warehouse union drive was a classic David versus Goliath
story. Local organizers and employees went toe-to-toe with one of the
largest private companies in the world – and they won!
But in many ways, the fight is just getting started. Amazon's corporate
leadership will do everything in their power to crush the Amazon Labor
Union, starting with this effort to throw out the results of the union
election.
The next step for the workers at the warehouse is to negotiate a contract,
and there's a lot Amazon will likely do there as well to try and undermine
their own workers and block their union. That's why we can't afford to
take our eyes off what's happening at the Staten Island warehouse.
Workers and organizers made history by voting to form a union. Now it's
time for Amazon's corporate leaders to accept that the workers won – and
bargain with them fairly.
