A union organizing workers at an Amazon facility has asked the National Labor Relations Board to rethink the placement of a controversial mailbox.
More than 6,000 workers at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer are eligible to vote on the union issue this year, and it would be a blockbuster win for labor organizations if it is approved. But workers voted to reject the proposal by more than a 2-to-1 margin last year.The NLRB called for a new election after it found that the e-commerce giant improperly interfered in the first election.
The union had expressed concerns about the mailbox, saying that it could make workers think that Amazon had some role in collecting and counting ballots, therefore potentially influencing worker votes. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company said last year that the mailbox was intended to make voting easy for workers. In its election rules for this year’s vote, the NLRB said that the Postal Service “has moved or will move the mailbox” away from the warehouse entrance. No one is allowed to put a tent or sign or similar items near the mailbox.
“The mailbox’s continued existence on Amazon’s property stands as a stark physical memorial of a tainted election,” the union wrote in an email to media. In its request for review, the union said that Amazon moved the mailbox only a few hundred feet and that it is still in view of surveillance cameras and employees in the parking lot.
