UPDATE: Amazon Labor Union officially confirmed the vote this afternoon in an announcement via Twitter.
Amazon workers at a Staten Island, New York, warehouse have voted in overwhelming support to form an upstart union, a historic win for that will likely reverberate across not only the company itself, but the labor movement nationwide. Although there are still a few hundred votes left to count, the current 2,300 “yes” votes versus 1,855 “no” votes ensures there is mathematically no way for the scales to tip in the other direction.
