- Workers at the JFK8 Fulfillment Center in Staten Island voted to create the first Amazon Labor Union.
- Experts have called the move one of the biggest labor victories in decades.
- Amazon challenged the outcome, and bargaining hadn't begun as of July 2023.
Thousands of workers at a Staten Island Amazon warehouse unionized in April 2022, which experts have called one of the biggest labor victories in decades. And then Amazon challenged the outcome.
In January, however, federal labor officials found no merit in Amazon's objections and ordered the company to start negotiations. As of July 2023, bargaining hadn't begun.
