Investing.com - Amazon appears to have clinched enough votes to beat an effort to unionize by workers at an Alabama warehouse.

The workers have voted against establishing the first union for Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), according to an unofficial tally. The union they would join has filed an objection, according to CNBC. Shares were slightly higher, after rising almost 4% this week.

After more than a week of vote counting, the no votes hit a simple majority on Friday, according to multiple reports. The ballot counting continues until there is an official count. As of Thursday, the counting suggested the unionization effort would fail.


CNBC said Friday that Amazon union proponents want investigation into the vote.

In the run up to the ballot results, Amazon has faced rebellion from workers in Spain, Italy, and France, amid criticism over poor working conditions. In the face of  criticism, Amazon has fought back, arguing that its pay and benefits for employees are competitive.

Big loss for the Union (no dues to collect).

People working a job that requires minimum education, no previous knowledge or skill, very little training and yet expect a living wage. smh
I see. People working hard don't deserve food shelter and clothing. I bet you call yourself a Christian too. Good luck at the pearly gates.

I'll bet they also find a way to pay no taxes after Joe's business income tax increases take effect.

read some history mate about life and working conditions before unions
What outcome would you expect when only a little over 50% voted.
liberals are running Amazon; maybe they " found" some votes in the middle of the night...
wouldn't they want the union *
another typical comment from a uneducated trump supporter who didn't stop and think before commenting.
Lmao how inept you gotta be to think Amazon is liberal haha
Yeah if the votes are not what you wont, lets recount maybe revote
If the workers were really miss treated they would have voted to unionize. They realize they have better pay than other jobs & great benefits. Amazon pays way better then a lot of companies

You mean we are NOW allowed to question the results of an election? China Joe say it ain’t so!
what mental gymnastics lead you to this
makes me wonder if the count is legit. feel bad for the workers
Unions are a belligerent cancer, and the employees realize that. Only certain upper middle class urban white women like unions these days.
honestly, unions are at best a necessary evil for blue collar workers who don't know how to professionally negotiate a raise and benefits.historically, their naivity and corporate apathy has lead to the work force being taken advantage of by people who care enough to pay attention
Hahahahaha...”investigation into the vote”... sounds familiar. CAN’T DO THAT...well until Union Joe says it’s ok for THIS.
I need 100$
thats crazy
Poor workers
