Amazon Workers in Coventry Narrowly Miss Historic Union Recognition

A closely contested vote sees 50.5% of Amazon employees at the UK warehouse reject unionization, marking a significant moment for labor movements.

The GMB union needed a majority of votes but fell short by less than 1%.
Amazon's Coventry workers have engaged in extensive strike actions over the past year.
The union alleges Amazon hired additional workers to dilute the pro-union vote.
This outcome is a setback for the UK labor movement despite recent government promises to bolster union rights.
Amazon remains one of the UK's top private sector employers with around 75,000 employees.
