As the National Labor Relations Board began sending out union election ballots to Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama on Friday--less than a year after the workers lost an initial election and the board accused the company of illegal interference--Sen. Bernie Sanders condemned the U.S. Senate's failure to pass proposed legislation that would strengthen unionization efforts.

'In many ways the situation has not changed a great deal from a year ago,' labor professor John Logan of San Francisco State University told The Hill. Under the PRO Act, employers would face civil penalties for union-busting activity, including firing and threatening union supporters and requiring workers to attend anti-union meetings. Companies also would be blocked from involvement in setting union procedures.
