Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports that in an indication of progress in a major Union Organizing Drive, the Teamsters are reporting “a major win outside the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) Election process” by gaining a Card-Check Majority among Workers employed at the giant Amazon Warehouse in the Atlanta Suburb of Alpharetta, Georgia.  Hundreds of Workers, many of them Drivers at the DGT8 Warehouse, signed petitions and National Labor Relations Board Union Election Authorization Cards.  Pay, or lack of it, safe working conditions and respect on the job are common themes of all the local warehouse drives.  “We make half of what USPS makes.  That doesn’t make sense,” one Worker said.  “To do (200) stops in ten hours is impossible.  It’s slavery,” another Driver said.
