Amazon workers reject union bid at second Staten Island warehouse

Blow to organizers who last month pulled off the first successful effort to unionize at different facility in company's history

Amazon warehouse workers overwhelmingly rejected a union bid on Monday, dealing a blow to organizers who last month pulled off the first successful US organizing effort in the retail giant's history.

This time around, warehouse workers cast 618 votes or about 62% against the union, giving Amazon enough support to fend off a second labor win as the tech giant continues to try and overturn its first loss.
