DELIVERY DOOM: Why packages may be delayed making it to your doorstep
At least 30% of the 5,000 signed union-support cards that the Amazon Labor Union submitted to the NLRB’s regional office were in support of unionizing. Unions need to garner support from at least 30% of workers who are eligible to vote in order to hold an official election under the supervision of the U.S. National Labor Relations Board, according to the agency's policies.
The Amazon Labor Union couldn’t be reached immediately for comment. However, Smalls told Reuters that "to get over this hump, the show of interest, it’s definitely historic for us."The move comes after a failed attempt by the group last fall. In November, the group of workers had withdrawn its petition to hold a vote to unionize after failing to collect enough signatures, according to Reuters.
