The startup union that clinched a historic labour victory at Amazon earlier this year is slated to face the company yet again, aiming to rack up more wins that could force the reluctant retail behemoth to the negotiating table.This time, the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) and the nation’s second-largest private employer are facing off in the town of Schodack, near Albany, in New York state. Workers at the warehouse there, which employs roughly 800 people according to Amazon, will finish voting in a union election on Monday. The votes will be tallied Tuesday by the National Labor Relations Board.“There are also a lot of odds against us, but I think there’s definitely a huge possibility we might win,” said Sarah Chaudhry, an 18-year-old who has been organising workers since joining the company two months ago. “I can’t jinx it.”
