- Last month, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama, could proceed with a union vote.
- Amazon has now filed a motion asking the board to halt the election, which is scheduled to start February 8 with mail-in voting.
- The e-commerce giant is also objecting the the board allowing mail-in rather than in-person voting.
- In the motion, Amazon accuses the board of multiple gaps in precedent, errors by the regional director, and a failure to improve the mail-in ballot process.
- Bessemer would be the first Amazon union vote in the United States since 2014. If the vote is successful, the facility would be Amazon's first in the U.S. to have a union.
