Amazon workers employed at a Staten Island warehouse voted against forming a union Monday, an unexpected setback for the group of current and former employees who last month successfully created the company’s first union at a different New York City warehouse. Of the 998 ballots cast,618 — roughly 62% — were against participating in organized labor and being represented by the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) compared to the 380 — about 38% — who voted for it, according to a federal labor board that tallied the ballots.
