In North Carolina, Amazon workers at a warehouse voted nearly 3-to-1 against joining the grassroots union CAUSE, with 2,447 voting against and 829 in favor. Despite calls from union organizers for better wages and safer working conditions, Amazon’s campaign against unionization emphasized benefits and competitive pay. The company's stance reflects broader tensions in labor organizing efforts, with recent victories in other Amazon facilities challenging the company's long-held opposition to unions. Amazon argues that its existing policies and benefits meet employees' needs without union involvement.
Union organizers argued that the need for better wages, more reliable hours, and improved safety measures justifies their efforts to unionize, despite the strong opposition from Amazon.
Amazon maintains its position against unions, emphasizing that its employees benefit from the direct relationship with the company, which offers competitive pay and industry-leading benefits.
