Amazon plans for new Alabama warehouse after US union defeat
Al Jazeera
Employees at another Amazon facility in Alabama last month voted decisively against forming a union, a move labour activists had hoped would lead to similar efforts throughout the company.
Amazon announced plans for a new warehouse that will bring more than 500 jobs to north Alabama in the United States just weeks after workers at another company facility in the state soundly defeated a push for unionisation. The company said the 93,000-square-metre (1 million-square-foot) order fulfilment centre would be built near a new Mazda Toyota vehicle factory that’s being constructed west of Huntsville in Limestone County. “Amazon employees will pick, pack, and ship bulky or larger-sized customer items such as patio furniture, outdoor equipment, or rugs,” Owen Torres, a company spokesperson, said in a statement Tuesday.
