Amazon faces union vote at North Carolina warehouse

Amazon is facing its second union vote in two months at a warehouse in Garner, North Carolina, where workers will decide whether to join the Carolina Amazonians United for Solidarity and Empowerment by Friday.
Workers aim to negotiate for higher wages, longer breaks, and better job protections, with a goal of $30 per hour. Italo Medelius-Marsano stated, 'We deserve better for the work we do day in and day out.'
Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards opposed the union formation, stating, 'We believe our employees favor opportunities to have their unique voice heard by working directly with our team.'
If the vote succeeds, it could lead to further organizing efforts at Amazon's warehouses, while a failed vote may hinder such initiatives.
