For those of you who don’t know, this is huge news because these kinds of things typically only get filed after the union advocates determine that there is overwhelming support in that workplace. There are 1500 staff in this warehouse . Alabama is one of the most anti-union states in the country.
Absolute support for these workers.
IDK I'm kinda worried to they'll just close it. The Bessemer warehouse is my Amazon warehouse. It's new, just activated in 2019. Previously they just ran packages from west Georgia. They've screwed this area before for business convenience: after the Amazon / FedEx contract fallout they just dropped next day shipping for all of us permanently. They told us it would be back when the Bessemer location opened up but that was clearly a lie.
Fuck Bezos.

More likely imo is that Amazon just refuses to sign a contract and hires scabs and/or just waits it out until people either give up, or they can browbeat the union into accepting a shitty deal.
100% Anyway, in the long run it will just lead them seeking more automated ways for their services so no need to rely on humans anymore. Workers are fucked one way or another.
