  • It marked Amazon workers’ third rejection in forming, including at a second New York City facility and another in Alabama. 
  • The ALU cannot collectively bargain where it won this spring in the borough of Staten Island, either.
  • In 2021, Amazon criticized unions in bathroom signage and workshops.
  • Amazon recently raised its U.S. average starting pay for front-line staff.
  • Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities, said, “If workers feel they are fairly paid, they are less likely to unionize.”
