An Amazon facility on Staten Island, N.Y., voted to become the company’s first unionized U.S. workplace in a mammoth upset that would be one of organized labor’s biggest victories in decades.
“Two years ago my life changed forever,” Smalls said to reporters, referring to his firing from Amazon amid worker protests of pandemic safety issues that later kindled the unionization campaign. “When Covid-19 came to play, Amazon failed us.” There is little precedent in recent U.S. history for an unaffiliated union to get a toehold in such a large worksite of a company that has actively opposed the organizing campaign, as Amazon has at JFK8 and elsewhere. It is arguably organized labor’s most significant victory at a large employer since a 5,000-worker Smithfield Foods pork plant in North Carolina unionized in 2008.
