Amazon workers at the RDU1 warehouse voted against union representation by a significant margin of 2,447 to 829. The independent union CAUSE fought against Amazon’s aggressive anti-union tactics, which included threats to workers’ benefits and attempts to sow division among the workforce. CAUSE, founded by workers themselves, sought better wages, paid time off, and workplace safety. However, Amazon's relentless union-busting efforts, characterized by fear tactics and misinformation, ultimately led to the rejection of union representation.
Amazon's aggressive anti-union tactics resulted in a decisive vote against CAUSE-Carolina union representation, reflecting the difficulty of grassroots organizing against corporate power.
The stark imbalance of resources between CAUSE’s grassroots campaign and Amazon’s full-blown anti-union strategy emphasized the challenges faced by independent labor movements today.
