Amazon.com Inc. has fired a leader in the effort to unionize a warehouse in Bessemer, Ala., the union representing the workers there said.
The organizer, Jennifer Bates, was terminated amid a monthslong dispute over workers’ compensation after suffering injuries while working at the warehouse, according to the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, which has been helping the warehouse’s workers in their unionization drive.

Unionization efforts by Amazon warehouse workers, who are seeking better pay and protections after dealing with a surge in demand through the pandemic, have been met with stiff opposition by the online retailer. Workers at one warehouse in Staten Island, known as JFK8, voted to unionize last year. But a vote to unionize at another warehouse in Staten Island was unsuccessful.
Amazon told her to go home and get a new doctor’s review, and after she returned again, she was notified that her access to Amazon’s AtoZ app — a workplace management tool — was disabled. An HR representative, the union said, attributed the app’s disabling to “her unpaid time off tally.”
