Amazon Argues It Didn't 'Win' Union Fight, Its Employees 'Made the Choice'

Amazon on Friday clinched enough votes to defeat a unionization attempt at one of its Alabama warehouses, defeating the most significant labor drive in the company's history. The majority of Amazon's workers in Bessemer, Alabama, voted against joining the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). Of the 3,215 ballots cast, there were 1,798 votes opposing the union and 738 votes in favor.
