Defeated Amazon union campaign could still spur more labor activism in Big Tech

PODCAST A room with a view: a non-tech explanation of containers and Kubernetes Private equity TMT activity making comeback in Europe PODCAST 19 Apr, 2021 Author Katie Arcieri Big Tech companies are likely to see more organized labor initiatives from blue- and white-collar employees, despite a recent failed effort to form a union at an Amazon.com Inc. warehouse in Alabama, labor experts say. Historically, unionization has not been associated with Silicon Valley, where technology firms dangle fancy perks and high salaries to highly skilled employees who can easily hop to the next job. But an increasing focus on inequities among essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with a push by the Biden administration to reform labor law, could place more power in the hands of employees to organize, the experts say.

After one of the most high-profile union - and anti-union - campaigns in recent history, Amazon employees in Bessemer, Alabama, voted overwhelmingly against unionizing, with the National Labor Relations Board confirming Friday that 71% of eligible ballots were cast in opposition.

Amazon Union Vote Proved Labor Law Reforms Are Needed to Help Workers

They told Insider that Amazon s anti-union push proved companies have too much power over workers. After one of the most high-profile union and anti-union campaigns in recent history, Amazon employees in Bessemer, Alabama, voted overwhelmingly against unionizing, with the National Labor Relations Board confirming Friday that 71% of eligible ballots were cast in opposition. But eight labor experts told Insider that focusing on the vote tally misses the bigger takeaway from this saga: that American workers are demanding better workplaces and a voice on the job, and America s current labor laws simply aren t designed to help them accomplish that goal. Still, they said, Bessemer put a spotlight on how stacked the deck is against workers, and that the broad, diverse public support for the union drive showed the US labor movement is gaining more steam than it has in decades.

Amazon faces labor backlash in Europe as worker union vote proceeds in US

As a historic vote count gets underway to determine whether Amazon.com Inc. workers in Alabama will form a union, the company is facing increasing resistance from its already unionized employees across Europe. German service trade union Verdi recently called on Amazon workers at six company sites to launch a four-day strike ahead of the Easter holiday to demand higher wages. The strike is taking place roughly a week after Amazon logistics workers in Italy went on a 24-hour strike called by the FILT-CGIL, FIT-CISL and Uiltrasporti unions over issues including delivery workloads. The latest actions add to a growing labor backlash in Europe, including a strike among Amazon workers in France last year related to concerns about worker safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
