New York Amazon workers withdraw their unionization petition
The NLRB has confirmed that Amazon workers have withdrawn their petition to hold a unionization vote. This withdrawal comes less than two weeks before the NLRB was expected to hold a hearing for the formation of a union at the Staten Island, New York Amazon distribution center. No reason has been given for the withdrawal, but an NLRB spokesperson notes that the workers can refile a petition. Amazon said, “our focus remains on listening directly to our employees and continuously improving on their behalf.”
