Amazon Demands Face-to-Face Milestone Union Voting
On Thursday, the e-commerce giant filed a motion to delay the union election, which is scheduled to start on February 8, so that the NLRB can reconsider its decision to hold the election by mail over almost two months rather than via an in-person event.
The board said in its ruling, A mail ballot election will face employees who can not enter the voting location for health reasons or due to positive COVID tests. In addition, during the current health crisis, the mail ballot election will protect the health and safety of voters, agency personnel, representatives and the public during the current health crisis.
