If the PRO Act Were Law, The Amazon Union Election Would Have Looked Very Different by Brandon Magner, Labor Notes, *March 30* https://labornotes.org/blogs/2021/03/if-pro-act-were-law-amazon-union-election-would-have-looked-very-different
Voting in the National Labor Relations Board-conducted election at Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama facility came to a close on Monday. In many ways the election was unusual, marked by the sheer size of the agreed bargaining unit (5,800 warehouse workers) and the length of voting (nearly two months of mail-balloting necessitated by the pandemic). But in many more ways, the election was perfectly ordinary: the employer took advantage of its numerous lawful (and likely unlawful) advantages built into the National Labor Relations Act to wage a ferocious ideological campaign against the petitioning Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU), utilizing many of the oldest weapons in management’s impressive arsenal. ...I thought it would be helpful to analyze how the election would have been different if the Protecting the Right to Organize Act—currently pending debate and a vote in the Senate—were already law. I’ve broken down the changes for simplification. . . . -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
