This election was historic for labor organizers who have sought unionization for Amazon delivery and warehouse workers for decades.

Amazon, which has been opposed to unions within its workforce, ran an aggressive campaign in Staten Island to discourage employees from joining unions, much like it did at an Alabama Warehouse last spring. workers rejected unionization. The Alabama Warehouse held a do-over election on Friday. However, the final results are still uncertain due to a few challenged ballots.

Biden declared that “there should be no intimidation or coercion,” and added, “There should not be any threats, no pro-union propaganda, no threats.” Every worker deserves to have the right to choose whether or not they want to be part of a union. No employer should take this away.

Biden stated Wednesday that the unions have many benefits. Union members are paid more, get better benefits, and work in safer, healthier places.

He requested that Congress pass the Protecting the Right to Organize Act. This would protect workers who are trying to organize, and reduce employee interference in union campaigns. Although the PRO Act was passed by the House, it is still stalled in Senate.

It is anticipated that the successful Staten Island vote will kick-start further unionization efforts at Amazon and other businesses. Amazon Labor Union also wants to create a second warehouse in Staten Island. This election will likely take place later in the month.
