Organisers say Amazon has been employing ‘union-busting’ tactics to create doubt in workers’ minds about the benefits of membership

More than 2,000 workers at four Amazon facilities in Staten Island, US have signed a petition asking federal labour officials to greenlight an election to form a new union, the latest spasm of labour strife between the e-commerce giant and its large blue-collar workforce.

“We intend to fight for higher wages, job security, safer working conditions, more paid time off, better medical leave options and longer breaks,” the Amazon Labor Union said Thursday in a statement. The ALU has been organising for the past six months, hosting barbecues and handing out water near Amazon warehouses in the New York borough. Organisers say Amazon has already been employing “union-busting” tactics to create doubt in workers’ minds about the benefits of membership.

The Teamsters, whose members include delivery drivers for United Parcel Service , are trying to organise Amazon warehouse workers in Canada.
