‘There’s momentum to win’: union fight enters final stretch for Alabama Amazon workers

Mail-in ballots for the hotly contested battle to unionize 5,800 workers are due on Monday. Some experts are predicting a victory while others are unsure

With mail-in ballots due this Monday, federal officials will soon begin tallying the votes in what has been the most closely watched unionization drive in the US in years - the hotly contested battle to unionize 5,800 Amazon workers in Alabama. Some labor experts predict a union victory, others aren't so sure.

While admitting he's afraid to make a prediction, Robin Kelley, a history professor at University of California, Los Angeles, said: I do think the union's going to win the election. Whether it's overwhelming or not, I don't know, but I do think there's enough momentum to win."
