Amazon warehouse workers reject union bid; Solidarity protest planned for Madison
MADISON (WKOW) Amazon workers voted against forming a union at a warehouse in Alabama, and a Madison protest is planned to back the workers who supported unionizing.
The win proved the might of the online shopping giant and cut off a path that labor activists had hoped would lead to similar efforts throughout the company and beyond.
Amazon crossed the threshold to secure a majority of votes, with 1,798 warehouse workers voting against the union and 738 voting in favor, according to the National Labor Relations Board, which is overseeing the process.
