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 s victory against a union drive in Alabama proved workers want better workplaces, but America s labor laws are too broken to help them get that, experts say
