NYC Amazon workers vote to unionize warehouse

Amazon workers on Staten Island,, voted to unionize on Friday, marking the first successful U.S. organizing effort in the retail giant’s history.

Votes were still being tabulated but union supporters secured a wide enough margin to give the fledgling Amazon Labor Union enough support to pull off a victory. The votes that were either voided or contested by either Amazon or the ALU did not appear to be enough to sway the outcome.
