Amazon Succeeds In Reversing Union Tide To Its Favor

Amazon.com Inc AMZN workers backed from joining a union at a company warehouse in Southern California.
According to National Labor Relations Board, the union withdrew its petition for an election at a warehouse in Moreno Valley, California.
The Moreno Valley facility, called ONT8, is a critical hub for the Seattle-based e-commerce company, which relies heavily on imported goods from Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
It marked a reversal for the upstart Amazon Labor Union following its defeat at a New York facility last week.
ALU won an election at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island in April but has struggled to consolidate those gains, Bloomberg reported.
The union lost an election at a second, smaller Staten Island facility, and last week workers at a warehouse near Albany, New York, rejected joining the union.
ALU sought higher wages, better benefits, and other improvements to working conditions.
Amazon had challenged the legitimacy of the Staten Island vote.
In 2021, Amazon criticized unions in bathroom signage and workshops.
Amazon recently raised its U.S. average starting pay for front-line staff.
Price Action: AMZN shares traded lower by 0.21% at $119.57 in the premarket on the last check Tuesday.
