Union representation bid fails at Amazon warehouse in DelawareMaintenance and repair workers voted overwhelmingly to reject representation by the Machinists union. By Jay Greene Seattle Times business reporter A small group of equipment maintenance and repair technicians at Amazon’s Middletown, Del., warehouse rejected union representation Wednesday night by a wide margin. If it had been approved, it would have been the first bargaining unit for Amazon in the U.S. The workers voted 21-to-6 against having the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers represent them and seek a contract with the online retail giant. The Machinists represent tens of thousands of Boeing employees in Seattle and elsewhere. |

and i would fire those 6 who voted for unionization - hopefully it's a right to work state. VA is a right to work state, but firing people for a pro-union vote or attitude runs afoul of federal law. While the pro-union guys may be ignorant shitbags, repercussions against them will end up with someone in federal prison. |
