A dissident group has won control of the Amazon Labor Union, the only union in the country that formally represents Amazon warehouse workers, election results on Tuesday showed.
The union won a representation vote at a Staten Island warehouse in 2022 but has yet to negotiate a contract as Amazon contests the outcome.
A leader of the dissident group, Connor Spence, will take over, succeeding the founding president, Christian Smalls, who chose not to run for re-election.
The result was announced by Mr. Spence’s group and confirmed by Mr. Smalls.
Mr. Spence’s group brought a lawsuit last year to force leadership elections within the union.
