Amazon Fights Against Mail-In Voting in Union Decision to Preserve ‘Vote Fidelity’
Amazon is asking the National Labor Relations Board to consider having workers vote in person — rather than by mail — on a proposal to form a union at an Alabama warehouse.
The company formally requested a postponement of the vote so the labor regulator can reconsider its earlier ruling. Under the current plan, workers will have most of the next two months to vote by mail.
A group of workers at Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama, warehouse filed paperwork in November for an election to decide whether to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a rare step for workers at a company whose U.S. workforce isn’t unionized. The NLRB, which oversees union votes, earlier this month said the vote would be conducted by mail, citing standards set up during the pandemic to keep workers and staffers safe.
Amazon objected to that decision, saying the board had unfairly dismissed the company’s argument that the safety of its facility should be considered separately from the surrounding Jefferson County and the wider state of Alabama, where the Covid-19 positive test rate this month rose above 20%.
Amazon said its proposal for a manual vote would have “fully minimized any risk of transmission.” The NLRB’s decision that mail-only balloting was the safest approach was “based on speculation and conjecture, and without ever balancing the purported risk of virus spread against the public policy that ‘strongly favors’ allowing employees to vote in person,” the company said.

It would be funny if it weren’t so enraging.
Need to back the union. Call for mail in ballots.
BOZOS without evidence claims mail in ballots invites fraud.
In a brief filed supporting the Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania litigation over mail-in ballots, a group of Republican state attorneys general reference the Cater-Baker Commission report among other items regarding mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.
The 2020 election trends seemed to shift dramatically as mailed-in votes were counted. Further, many questions have emerged about the point of origin for ballots.
Specifically, the report called on states to prohibit third parties or political operatives from collecting ballots—a practice commonly known as “ballot harvesting.”
The report stated: “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.”
“State and local jurisdictions should prohibit a person from handling absentee ballots other than the voter, an acknowledged family member, the U.S. Postal Service, or other legitimate shipper, or election officials,” the 2005 commission report said. “The practice in some states of allowing candidates or party workers to pick up and deliver absentee ballots should be eliminated.”
Jeff Bezos already knows this. According to this report:
The solution, according to Amazon? Hold the election in a heated tent in the facility’s parking lot in conjunction with software designed to ensure social distancing. BUT -— The NLRB says conditions are too dangerous for in-person voting, and that acquiescing to Amazon’s demands might give workers the impression that government employees conducting the vote might be receiving inappropriate benefits from the company.
So they can go to work in the building 24/7/365 but suddenly it is too dangerous to vote in said building?
Liberals have no conscience, no morals. This is evil we’re dealing with.
Isn’t that something. Seriously!
And yet even the Republican leaders still can’t wrap their
heads around what just took place.
Good gravy...
They know damn well. They are part of it. None of this would have happened without their complicity.
I’ll grant you that.
Mitch is talking about a come-back.
He’s so addled he can’t grasp the gig is up.
Unless he’s in favor of the USSA, he’a a
complete moron.
I can’t believe these guys want the Soviet
Russia model here. He saw what that nation
was during the cold war.
They’ve built China up, and are ripping us
down.
You realize there’s a Starchamber Politburo
behind Biden now.
He’s governing by order via consensus.
Mitch knows.
He is part of the problem.
Frankly, anyone NOT standing up to defend and support the American people AND our duly elected president—President Trump—exposes him/her/itself.
Well, I can’t imagine them thinking it’s a swell idea to turn
the world over to the likes of the Chinese government, but it
is happening whether we like it or not.
Oh, but it was okay for the President of the United States of America?
