Sen. Tommy Tuberville is questioning the reason for a second Bessemer Amazon union election.
U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville speaks to reporters Feb. 22, 2022, in Huntsville following an address to business and community leaders. U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville is once again questioning the decision to allow a second union election at Amazon’s Bessemer fulfillment center - on the eve of counting the votes.
Mail-in ballots went out last month to approximately 6,100 workers at the facility, which they will have until Monday to fill out and return. The election will deal with whether workers at the warehouse want to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale & Department Store Union . A similar vote last year went decidedly in Amazon’s favor against unionization.
In the three-page letter, dated today, the senators say their earlier letter was replied to by a congressional affairs staffer, not Henderson, and none of their questions were answered. They also focus some of their attention on NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, who they say has given interviews to “partisan outlets telegraphing her intention to interfere with the independent work of the Regional Directors.
