Amazon workers at a fulfillment center in Moreno Valley, California, filed a petition for a union election, the National Labor Relations Board confirmed Tuesday.
It's the first time workers at an Amazon facility in California have formally sought a union election. They are seeking to join the upstart Amazon Labor Union, which mounted the first successful unionization effort at any Amazon warehouse in the United States when it won the vote at JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York, on April 1.
NLRB spokesperson Kayla Blado said the board's Region 21-Los Angeles office received an election petition but is waiting for additional required paperwork from the union before it can confirm enough union cards have been collected and signed in order for the NLRB to move forward with the election process.
