Amazon Employees Accessed Mailbox for Union Election Ballots, Worker Says

A mailbox that was supposed to be accessible only to the US Postal Service was unlocked by two Amazon security guards during a contentious union election in Alabama, according to testimony from worker Kevin Jackson in a hearing Friday. As he was finishing up a night shift, Jackson saw the guards going through the opened mailbox for “a minute or two” as though looking for something, he said, adding that he later saw Amazon employees locking and unlocking the mailbox multiple times.

The testimony came at a hearing before the National Labor Relations Board that will consider complaints from the union that Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama, voted to reject in an election that ended in April. The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union claims that Amazon’s actions during the election amounted to illegal influence on the vote. It was the first union election at an Amazon facility in seven years.

Amazon has said the company had no access to the mailbox, and repeated that statement in response to Jackson’s testimony. (Read more from “Amazon Employees Accessed Mailbox for Union Election Ballots, Worker Says” HERE)
