Despite the strongest public support and the most sympathetic president in years, the American labour movement just suffered another stinging defeat. Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama, overwhelmingly voted against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union in much-anticipated election results announced on Friday. Amazon and business groups celebrated the decision, saying warehouse workers got a chance to weigh the pros and cons of union membership - and voted to reject it. But labour activists argue that the lopsided vote shows how unfairly the odds are stack against union organising efforts and highlight the need for Congress to reform U.S. labour law. The House last month passed such legislation - the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act - but it looks likely to die in the Senate.
