Amazon workers at a warehouse in Garner, North Carolina, will vote this week on whether to join the newly formed Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment (CAUSE). The union is advocating for higher wages, longer breaks, and more flexible scheduling, while Amazon opposes the effort, emphasizing direct engagement with employees. Workers have accused the company of anti-union tactics, including mandatory meetings and repeated messaging against unionization. Several employees have also filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging retaliation for their organizing efforts. The outcome of the vote could influence future unionization efforts at Amazon warehouses across the country.
