A union is taking Amazon to court, alleging that the e-commerce giant is trying to prevent workers from voting for a union

The retail, wholesale and department store Union has filed objections against Amazon to the National Labor Relations board. The company says the company has again interfered with its election in Bessemer, Alabama.

The union is asking the NLRB to schedule a hearing on its objections to determine whether the results of the second Bessemer election should be set aside and a new election held.

The final outcome of the union election is currently unknown. There were over 400 challenged ballots. As a result, the outcome depends on a hearing that has n’t been scheduled.

The election was held as a redo after the rwdsu lost a previous election by a nearly two to one margin last year. The NLRB found that Amazon interfered with the first election in Bessemer, and ordered a new one.

Rwdsu president Stuart Appelbaum said:’no company, not even with the bottomless pockets of Amazon, is allowed to act above the law’.

Amazon did n’t immediately reply to the verge’s request for comment. The Verge was inundated with requests for comment.

In January, the NLRB filed a complaint against Amazon saying it threatened, surveilled, and intimidated workers during the Staten Island union drive. The agency is also suing the company for firing Gerald Bryson, an Amazon labor union organizer, and is trying to end the practice of’captive audience’ meetings.
