Amazon.com Inc workers at a small facility in New Jersey have shown enough interest to hold a vote on unionising, the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said on Monday.

At least 60 of 200 workers from Amazon's DNK5 depot in Bayonne, New Jersey, have submitted cards seeking to organise as part of Local 713 International Brotherhood of the Trade Union, the NLRB said.
The news follows growing interest in organising at Amazon, which for years had resisted unions in its U.S. operations.
Just last month, thousands of employees at the JFK8warehouse in Staten Island voted to organise under a different group known as the Amazon Labor Union, and workers at a second Staten Island warehouse are weighing later this month whether to unionise.
An election date and terms have yet to be agreed upon for the delivery station DNK5. Amazon could dispute the validity of this latest petition.
