Amazon illegally interfered in Alabama warehouse election, union alleges in complaint to federal officials
CNBC (cash no big consideration) ^ | April 19, 2021 | Annie Palmer

In its filing submitted to the NLRB, the union listed 23 objections surrounding Amazon’s behavior during the monthslong campaign, including allegations of employee intimidation and manipulation. The RWDSU said Monday it has requested a hearing before the NLRB to discuss its objections.

“The objections constitute conduct which prevented a free and uncoerced exercise of choice by the employees, undermining the board’s efforts to provide ‘a laboratory in which an experiment may be conducted, under conditions as nearly as ideal as possible, to determine the uninhibited desires of the employees,’” the RWDSU said Monday.

Amazon spokeswoman Heather Knox told CNBC in a statement: “The fact is that less than 16% of employees at BHM1 voted to join a union. Rather than accepting these employees’ choice, the union seems determined to continue misrepresenting the facts in order to drive its own agenda.

I can't show the Getty image, but there's a photo of a billboard that said, "BHM1 VOTE NOW! Mail your ballot right away! DoItWithoutDues.com/vote". Heh.

Communist playbook 101 - don’t like the results? Force a revote until you get the result you want.

Although in this case merely protesting to the NRLB may allow the communist led NRLB to force the union into Amazon regardless of the vote.

Amazon deserves a big kick in the groin from their lovers in the Dem party.

Dems: It’s in our nature!

Forget Facebook, Twitter, Google, and the like. The major Big Tech enemy of America is Amazon. I cannot recommend highly enough the new book about what the company is doing to our country: Alec MacGillis's "Fulfillment: Winning and Losing in One-Click America."

Still sold by Amazon itself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0374159270/

Amazon is deathly afraid of their workers unionizing so I don’t put it past them to cheat. It explains their push to a more “diverse” workforce

The union accused Amazon of “ballot harvesting”...

For some reason, the union wants NRBQ involved.

Dragline has some wise words of advice for the unions: "Stay down, you're beat."
