The retail union that failed to organize Amazon workers at an Alabama warehouse wants the results of a recent vote to be thrown out, saying that the company illegally interfered with the process. Many of the other allegations by the union revolve around a mailbox that Amazon installed in the parking lot of the Bessemer, Ala., warehouse. It said the mailbox created the false appearance that Amazon was conducting the election, intimidating workers into voting against the union. A banner encouraging workers to vote in labour balloting is shown at an Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Ala., on March 30. The retail union filed the objections to the National Labor Relations Board late Friday, but released it publicly Monday.
