Date set for new Amazon union vote at Bessemer, Alabama facility
CBSN
The National Labor Union Relations Board (NLRB) said Tuesday that a second union election for the nearly 6,000 workers at Amazon's processing facility in Bessemer, Alabama will take place next month.
The labor board found in August that Amazon violated federal labor laws by encouraging employees to vote against the union and pressured the USPS to install a ballot collection box that it was able to supervise, leading to a second election to be called.
In a notice to eligible voters, the NLRB said Tuesday that Amazon "interfered with the employee's exercise of a free and reasoned choice" when it installed a ballot collection box and improperly polled employee's support during mandatory meetings.
