The union that tried — and failed — to organize Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama may get a do-over.
The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union on Monday said that a hearing officer for the National Labor Relations Board has recommended that the vote by workers in April tobe set aside and that another vote be held in its place. The hearing officer determined that Amazon violated labor law, according to the union.
The NLRB, which could not be reached for comment, has not yet issued a final decision, which would typically come two or three weeks after the initial recommendation."Workers endured an intensive anti-union campaign designed by Amazon to intimidate and interfere with their choice on whether or not to form a union," it said in a statement.that Amazon threatened workers with layoffs and even the closing of the warehouse if they unionized.
