Workers at a Staten Island Amazon Warehouse rejected a motion for unionization on Monday, just one month after a neighboring Amazon warehouse in Staten Island became the first in the United States to form a workers’ union.

In the recent union election at Amazon’s LDJ5 sort center in Staten Island, workers voted 680 to 318 against a measure to be represented by the Amazon Labor Union (ALU), a new worker’s union recently formed to bargain collectively on behalf of American workers at Amazon’s company warehouses.
