On February 4, Amazon workers at a Bessemer, Ala. facility will vote for a second time on whether they should form a union. Workers there voted against unionizing last February but the National Labor Relations Board found Amazon had “interfered with the employees’ exercise of a free and reasoned choice” and ordered a new election.
The effort is part of an increase in union activity in recent years. Last year marked a three-year peak in elections deciding whether workforces would organize for collective bargaining.
