In a near-unanimous vote, members of the grassroots Amazon Labor Union have decided to formally affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters as they work to secure a contract at a Staten Island facility that won a historic union election more than two years ago. The Teamsters announced the result early Tuesday morning after three days of voting. The union said that 98.3% of voting ALU members came down in favor of affiliating with the Teamsters , which has 1.3 million members.

At JFK8, Amazon has refused to recognize or bargain with the ALU as it continues to contest the results of the 2022 election, drawing a complaint from the National Labor Relations Board last year. The Washington Post—owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—reported earlier this month that the youth advocacy group Gen-Z for Change has launched an email-writing campaign 'aimed at pressuring the federal agency to force Amazon to negotiate with the labor union' at JFK8.
