Workers at Amazon's only unionized warehouse in the U.S. have elected new union leaders, marking a significant development for the labor group. The warehouse, located in Staten Island, New York, saw a low turnout of only 5% of its 5,312 employees participating in the mail-in ballot election.
The newly elected leader, Connor Spence, received the most votes and will now head the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). Spence, a former Amazon worker and prominent organizer, aims to secure a contract with Amazon, a company known for resisting unionization efforts.
