The vote was 2,654 in favor and 2,131 against unionization, according to National Labor Relations Board officials.

Nah, Amazon will wait a bit then quietly close the warehouse after an alternate facility is constructed in New Jersey.

Like to see how Bezos is going to take this.

Now 8 Amazon workers will stand around and watch one put an item in a shipping bag, then after the union negotiated number of 4 bags per hour, they’ll get a half hour break.

"..Psaki added. “The Amazon workers in Staten Island made their choice to organize a grassroots union and bargain for better jobs and a better life.”"
Wouldn't that only happen if the warehouse closed and the workers found better employment elsewhere?

That is exactly what will happen. They cannot let one unionize because it will all fall down.

Greedy thugs will be running the Amazon chicken coop now. If you work for Amazon, you vote “demonRAT” or get your ass kicked.

With Union workers, you will no longer know when to expect your package. It will be a surprise. Could be a week, could be a month.

I hope they close that warehouse down and the POS union can tell their brand new comrades that they will be getting nothing from the union, but make sure to get a new job with another union shop!
This happened to me back in the mid 90’s. The company I was working for had their warehouse workers succumb to the union siren, and the day after the workers voted to unionize, the owner shut down the warehouse, fired all workers, and sold the warehouse.
They were warned it would happen, and they all ended up without a job for their efforts.
I was lucky enough to be in IT and got transferred to another location.

If it draws “White House praise,” it’s bad for American people.

It’s NYC. No cheating actually needed, they all drank the union Kool-aid decades ago.
