In its filing submitted to the NLRB, the union listed 23 objections surrounding Amazon’s behavior during the monthslong campaign, including allegations of employee intimidation and manipulation. The RWDSU said Monday it has requested a hearing before the NLRB to discuss its objections.
“The objections constitute conduct which prevented a free and uncoerced exercise of choice by the employees, undermining the board’s efforts to provide ‘a laboratory in which an experiment may be conducted, under conditions as nearly as ideal as possible, to determine the uninhibited desires of the employees,’” the RWDSU said Monday.
Amazon spokeswoman Heather Knox told CNBC in a statement: “The fact is that less than 16% of employees at BHM1 voted to join a union. Rather than accepting these employees’ choice, the union seems determined to continue misrepresenting the facts in order to drive its own agenda.

“Always the dollars, always the f’ing dollars!”
Unable to care.
It is a pity they can not both lose.
Maybe they can.
Indeed greed is the new model in any business now.
Did Amazon kick out the observers at 2AM then the union wake up to a massive straight 300K votes in a row for Joe Biden? Seems like a hick up in history. Deja vu or a known tactic.
/bingo
lol
One of the really good parts about having dead people vote. They don’t fight back.

Live by the stolen ballot, die by the stolen ballot.
Don’t like unions at all, but Amazon needs to be kicked hard in the nuts by unionized workers.
Amazon treats its American workers like absolute garbage, while bringing in thousands of foreigners to fill its white-collar ranks.
Problem is: Amazon is a monopoly and there is no other choice to use them in a vast majority of cases.
I buy lots of books. And I found the only other option is often eBay. And I don’t want used books or the low-cost Asian versions imported from India or Communist China
Same thing with a lot of goods. Only available on Amazon.
So looking for a real solution.
BTW, Target and Walmart are out for the same reasons : the replacement of American workers with foreign trash for much of their white-collar workforce.
The only "Union Organizer" I saw personally was a New Jersey thug who seemed to appear right out of the funny papers. Eyes as cold and black as Captain Quint's evil Great White Shark. He saw right through me and knew I despised him but he also knew it was too late for me to do anything about it. I reported back to the President of the Company that there was no hope because every team lead of all the departments were signing cards. The company immediately dropped to one forth of the output it had previously with a decimated employee base, inflated payroll and the plant closed a year later.
I remember when my Dad called in to work when there was a strike at GE. He had to patrol the rooftops every night watching out for Union sabotage.
My Sister-in-law's husband shot through the living room plate glass window of a scab at Georgia Power. He was fired and the Union didn't support him at all. Oh also, his father was an executive with Georgia Power. A felony for the Union and he didn't even get the t-shirt.
You advocate for a union! That’s how the communists got started in American. Unions don’t call themselves an International Brotherhood for no reason. They are Un-American fronts for the Global Socialist New Word Order patterned to dupe the perceived lower classes.

As long as Amazon treats its American workers like complete and total garbage, a union needs to go there and bust up the place.
Amazon won’t mostly hire Americans for anything but brutal fulfillment jobs. Sure the pay is decent, but the working conditions are absolutely brutal. There have been literally hundreds of articles written on these conditions.
Amazon sets aside all the decent white-collar jobs for Indians or outright outsources it’s white-collar technical jobs to its Indian operations centers.
Do you know anything about that Amazon facility in Birmingham? I didn’t think so.

Only know of the Amazon facility in Thornton Colorado. It’s a real shit show.
Absolutely brutal to work there.
Here's a hint: Southerners don't trust smooth talking outsiders coming here claiming to help us. You might say it's in the genes. We used to call them carpetbaggers and scalawags.
What kind of fool would think that a company that gives them a necessary job is abusing them but another elitist organization that robs them of part of their paycheck yet claims to help them is not abusing them? I agree that Unions might have been useful when Sam Gompers was alive over a hundred years ago but nowadays they are a cesspool of evil corruption and socialist anarchy. How can any union save workers when they, in the next breath, declare they will shutdown the company that employs the workers? Colorado fools may fall for it but "fool me twice, shame on me" Alabamians won't and didn't.
Ok, enjoy your slave labor conditions at Amazon in Alabama. They want to run a sweatshop there who am I to argue?
