Amazon Union Loses Vote at Second Staten Island Warehouse

The results were a setback for the upstart Amazon Labor Union, which won a landmark victory last month at a larger Amazon warehouse nearby.

It’s the biggest victory for organized labor in a generation. Was it a fluke or the start of a new era of labor activism?

“If I was to run for president, I would look just like this,” said Christian Smalls, the president of the Amazon Labor Union.

The company’s crackdown on a worker protest in New York backfired and led to a historic labor victory.

Amazon workers on Staten Island have created the company’s first union. The government needs to make it easier for others to follow.
