Amazon plans 'substantial' objections to historic union vote at New York City warehouse
CNN
One week after Amazon workers at a New York City warehouse made history by voting to form a union, the tech giant indicated it plans to file a number of objections.
Amazon (AMZN), which originally had just one week after the election to file any objections, was granted a two-week extension Thursday on filing the proof to support its objections. In a filing requesting the extension from the National Labor Relations Board regional director, Amazon noted that the election at its Staten Island, New York, facility "was one of the largest in the Board's recent history" and said that its "objections are anticipated to be substantial, both in the number ... and the scope of the conduct."
Employees at its Staten Island facility, known as JFK8, voted decisively in favor of unionizing with Amazon Labor Union (ALU), a grassroots labor organization started by current and former employees of the facility. The results marked the first time a group of US workers have successfully voted to form a union in the company's 27-year history.
