☆ Amazon reinstates Bessemer, Alabama warehouse worker and union face Jennifer Bates
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN —An Amazon worker and union organizer has been given her job back after she appealed her firing by the e-commerce giant earlier this month. Amazon on Thursday confirmed that it had reinstated Jennifer Bates — who became the face of the effort to unionize an Amazon facility in Bessemer, Alabama — following its appeals process. Bates had received notice of her termination from Amazon in early June. Amazon workers at a New York warehouse voted to form the company’s first US union last year, although Amazon has since refused to recognize the union or come to the bargaining table. Other efforts to unionize Amazon facilities, including one across the street from the New York warehouse, have failed.

☆ Amazon fires Alabama warehouse worker who led union push

And I’ve given every fiber of my soul into organizing Amazon these past three years,” Bates said in a statement Friday. Amazon workers at a New York warehouse voted to form the company’s first US union last year, though Amazon has since refused to recognize the union or come to the bargaining table. Other efforts to unionize Amazon facilities, including one across the street from the New York warehouse, have failed. The closely-watched union election at the Bessemer facility ended with the results too close to call due to hundreds of challenged ballots. “Amazon’s behavior must not go unchallenged, and workers in Bessemer, Alabama must have their rights protected under the law.”

Amazon and Starbucks stop Union Busting sign, International Workers Day, United Against Union Busting March and Rally, Workers Circle, Amazon Labor Union, NY Immigration Coalition, Make the Road, NYC Central Labor Council, RWDSU and more community-based organizations, immigrant rights groups, unions, and allies, Union Square, New York City. Workers at the Starbucks and Amazon Go store in midtown Manhattan filed a petition for a union election on Friday. It's the first cafe that uses Amazon's cashierless technology to try to unionize under Workers United and just the second of its kind. The store, which is located next to Port Authority and on the ground floor of the New York Times building, generates high volume but also has high employee turnover, according to Starbucks Workers United. Amazon Labor Union won its first election this spring, unionizing a warehouse on New York's Staten Island.
☆ Amazon Labor Union faces next showdown in upstate New York

The next month, that same group, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), fell short at a smaller facility across the street. On Wednesday, workers at an Amazon facility near Albany, New York, will begin voting on whether to join the ALU and become the second unionized Amazon warehouse in the United States. It also comes as Amazon has still not formally recognized the union in Staten Island or come to the bargaining table. Chris Smalls, a leader of the Amazon Labor Union, leads a march of Starbucks and Amazon workers and their allies to the homes of their CEOs to protest union busting on Labor Day, September 5, 2022, in New York City, New York. “I think they have an uphill battle ahead,” Kochan said of the union vote at the ALB1 facility.
