Thanks all. Community support has been amazing already and we'll be seeing soon what mgmt's response is and what kind of deal we'll get from this. Support has been coming from both random members of the public and a large smattering of political+activist orgs in the area, kind of nice to see that kind of solidarity play out right in front of your eyes since labor struggles are like catnip for leftist groups. As they should be

So what happens if this new ALU is formed and the bessemer campaign wins w/ RWDSU and the teamsters make good on their promise to try and run org drives at amazon warehouses...seems like it could result in friction/competition between different units to try and claim their slice of the Amazon pie rather than becoming a one big union Amazon national sweep. have ALU+RWDSU coordinated or communicated on anything? whats up with ALU anyway? today's a big day for results

I’m sure that every union will be trying to get ALU to affiliate with them, and it’ll be up to the members whether or not that happens. as to whether multiple unions will try to organize the same warehouses… hopefully not? rn the total scoreboard is ALU 1 everyone else 0 so I’d expect workers at various places to call ALU first instead of RWSDU or Teamsters because of that demonstrated success. kingcobweb has issued a correction as of 15:04 on Apr 1, 2022 |

also of note the count was finished in the bessemer election, 875 YES - 993 NO, with 416 ballots challenged, meaning the challenged ballots will now be counted since they would determine the outcome of the election. im not sure in this instance how theyll swing but my gut (and limited experience) is that workers challenged by management for inclusion in the voter rolls tend Yes, since theyre being targeted/excluded by mgmt for a reason. itll be a few weeks now as the nlrb litigates the ballots but this could be two unionized workplaces for amazon in a month, with another election with ALU coming up in April. this year could get insane with organizational activity.

in terms of vote counting, challenged voters can still cast a ballot in an election, but the ballots are only counted if the volume of unopened votes could change the outcome of the election. So if say the numbers for yes and no here were swapped they'd still open the challenge ballots bc the are of greater number than the current margin and could be like 400 straight No votes

i really hate that article, and greenhouse is a motherfucker smalls didn't do this. they had a 20 person organizing committee, god knows how many volunteers, and of course hundreds of supportive coworkers. he has said that over and over and over again to anyone who speaks with him. their social media has highlighted god knows how many people fighting against management throughout the process. the loving new york times always wants to find a single person and say "this person unionized 'employer X'" and it's always bullshit, always wrong, and always playing into future narratives of outsiders or individuals pushing unions on workplaces gently caress the new york times

the whole loving point of unionizing is that it DOESN'T rely on one person. one person CANT do any of this. it makes ZERO sense to say poo poo like that. It's not technically, legally, fiscally, organizationally, or humanly possible.
