On June 18, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) at the JFK8 warehouse in New York ratified their affiliation with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters after three days of voting. The vote, which saw 98.3% in favor, marks a significant step in unionization efforts at Amazon. This affiliation will provide the ALU with increased funding and organizational resources, enhancing their ability to negotiate contracts with Amazon. The partnership will represent approximately 5,500 Amazon workers in Staten Island and will have jurisdiction across New York City's five boroughs. ALU President Christian Smalls announced that the Teamsters have allocated $8 million for organizing efforts. This move is expected to bolster the union's bargaining power in staff contract negotiations.
