https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/01/staten-island-amazon-workers-vote-to-unionize/ > A historic day in a hard-fought battle as workers at Amazon’s JFK8 fulfillment center have voted to unionize. Counting for the Staten Island, NY warehouse concluded this morning, approving the formation of a union: 2,654 to 2,131. A total of 4,785 votes were cast, out of a total of 8,325 voters. > It’s a huge win for labor organizers at the retail giant, which had managed to stave off union efforts for its entire 27-year history. The vote comes after years of reports highlighting worker mistreatment at various locations across the country. Amazon has strongly pushed back against these stories, highlighting moves like its 2018 raise to a $15/hour minimum wage.
