On April 1, 2022, workers at Amazon's JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York, elected the recently formed Amazon Labor Union to represent them in collective bargaining, the first successful unionization effort at an Amazon facility. On April 8, 2022, Amazon filed a motion with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) asking it to invalidate the Staten Island election results, alleging legal violations by union backers and bias in favor of the union by the NLRB's regional office. On April 9, 2022, the NLRB said workers at an Amazon warehouse in Alabama rejected union representation on March 31, in an election re-run because the NLRB ruled the company improperly interfered with the first vote. On April 18, 2022, an administrative law judge ruled Amazon illegally fired an Amazon Labor Union from his job at the Staten Island warehouse in 2020 in retaliation for protected organizing activities. On April 25, 2022, workers at a second Amazon warehouse in Staten Island began voting on union representation. However, the effort to unionize the Staten Island warehouse failed, with 618 employees voting against joining the union and 380 for, according to results released by National Labor Board announced on May 2, 2022.
