Warehouse workers cast 2,654 votes in favor of a union, giving the fledgling Amazon Labor Union enough support to pull off a victory.

According to the National Labor Relations Board, which is overseeing the process, 2,131 workers rejected the union bid.

The victory was an uphill battle for the independent group, made up of former and current workers who lacked official backing from an established union and were out-gunned by the deep-pocketed retail giant. Despite obstacles, organizers believed their grassroots approach was more relatable to workers and could help them overcome where established unions have failed in the past.

"I'm excited that we're making history," Dutchin said."We're about to unionize a multibillion, trillion-dollar company. This will be a fantastic time for workers to be surrounded in a better, safer working environment."

It’s good and bad. Good: they can negotiate with Amazon. More benefits. Bad: cant fired bad workers. Wage increase based on contract. It can take forever. By that time every body else already by passed you. Union dues. And any other dues, they’ll take it from your pay check.
