据支持这项努力的一个劳工组织称，纽约史泰登岛第二个仓库的亚马逊工人已经提交了组建工会的请愿书。
该公司史坦顿岛工厂之一的工人被称为 LDJ5，他们正在寻求由亚马逊工会代表，这是一个由亚马逊现任和前任员工组成的劳工组织。 ALU 周三以电子方式提交了一份请愿书，要求与国家劳工关系委员会成立工会，该组织的前亚马逊员工克里斯·斯莫尔斯 (Chris Smalls) 说。
ALU 还在史坦顿岛上组织另一个亚马逊仓库，该仓库名为 JFK8，距离 LDJ5 不到一英里。在 NLRB 发现它没有收集到足够的员工签名来强制举行选举后，ALU 在 12 月被迫重新提交其工会请愿书。上周，NLRB 表示，该组织有足够的表现来推进选举，听证会定于 2 月 16 日举行。
在提交给 NLRB 的文件中，亚马逊表示，它仍然怀疑 ALU 是否已经收集到足够的签名来迫使 JFK8 举行选举。
请愿书是在亚马逊面临其仓库和送货工人之间的工会活动激增之际提出的。包括星巴克在内的其他零售商的组织工作也在增加。
周五，亚马逊阿拉巴马州一个仓库的工人将有机会再次投票是否加入零售、批发和百货公司工会。在该机构确定亚马逊不当干预最初于去年春天举行的投票后，NLRB 授权在阿拉巴马州贝塞默进行第二次选举。
多年来，主要工会一直试图组织亚马逊工人，但无济于事。近年来，RWDSU、联合食品和商业工人工会和国际卡车司机兄弟会都与亚马逊工人接触过他们对组织的兴趣。
Amazon workers at a second Staten Island warehouse file petition for union election
Amazon workers at a second warehouse on New York's Staten Island have filed a petition to form a union, according to a labor group behind the effort.
Workers at one of the company's Staten Island facilities, which is known as LDJ5, are seeking to be represented by the Amazon Labor Union, a labor group made up of current and former Amazon employees. ALU on Wednesday electronically filed a petition to form a union with the National Labor Relations Board, said Chris Smalls, a former Amazon employee who is a leader of the group.
ALU is also in the process of organizing another Amazon warehouse on Staten Island, which is called JFK8 and located less than a mile away from LDJ5. ALU was forced to refile its union petition in December after the NLRB found it hadn't collected enough employee signatures to force an election. Last week, the NLRB said the group had sufficient showing to move forward with an election, and a hearing is scheduled for Feb. 16.
In filings with the NLRB, Amazon has said it remains skeptical that the ALU has gathered enough signatures to force an election at JFK8.
The petition comes as Amazon is facing a groundswell of union activity among its warehouse and delivery workers. Other retailers, including Starbucks, are seeing an uptick in organizing efforts.
On Friday, workers at one of Amazon's Alabama warehouses will get the chance to vote again whether to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. The NLRB authorized a second election at the Bessemer, Alabama, site after the agency determined Amazon improperly interfered the vote, which initially took place last spring.
Major unions have been trying to organize Amazon workers for years, to no avail. The RWDSU, the United Food & Commercial Workers Union and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters have all approached Amazon workers in recent years about their interest in organizing.
