Campaign To Unionize Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama Warehouse Goes To Full NLRB

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union’s (RWDSU) long campaign to Unionize Workers at Amazon’s monster warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama is headed for the full National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), after a Board Administrative Law Judge ruled Amazon broke Labor Law again often enough to order a second re-run election there.  The NLRB’s Regional Office ordered the first rerun on November 20th, 2020 after Amazon’s rampant Labor Law-breaking nullified the initial election before that.  RWDSU’s first Organizing Drive drew national attention, with endorsements from Democratic President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.  The BAmazon Labor Union kept it Worker-to-Worker and Door-to-Door in Bessemer, besides campaigning in neutral areas - such as the parking lot, break rooms and bathrooms.  The AFL-CIO marshaled Organizers from other Unions to help out.  There was enough company Labor Law-breaking in the second vote, which Amazon lost 875-993 with 416 challenged ballots, that an Administrative Law Judge threw out that election too, ordering a re-rerun.
