Amazon Loses Bid to Overturn Successful Union Campaign by Staten Island Workers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In labor news, Amazon has lost its efforts to overturn a historic vote
unionizing its JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York. Last week, the
National Labor Relations Board recommended Amazon's demands should be
rejected, after it failed to prove union organizers had allegedly
tampered with the election by intimidating workers. The Staten Island
Amazon warehouse workers in April voted decisively in favor of joining
the newly formed Amazon Labor Union despite the retail giant's
multimillion-dollar union-busting campaign.
