"Amazon workers eligible to hold union election at New York warehouse -NLRB," 27 Jan. 2022

A group of Amazon.com workers has met the requirements to hold a union election at a warehouse in Staten Island, New York, a spokesperson for the U.S. National Labor Relations Board confirmed ... , paving the way for another high-profile labor battle at the online retailer.

... "We are jumping for joy," said Chris Smalls, president of the group and a former employee at the Staten Island warehouse. "We know it’s a long battle ahead of us, but to get over this hump, the show of interest, it’s definitely historic for us."

... Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said the company was seeking more information about how the signatures were verified.

“We’re skeptical that there are a sufficient number of legitimate signatures," Nantel said in a statement. "Our employees have always had a choice of whether or not to join a union, and as we saw just a few months ago, the vast majority of our team in Staten Island did not support the ALU.”
