Talking point: More than 2,600 warehouse workers at the JFK8 facility voted to unionize in April. Amazon’s objections to the vote included allegations that union organizers intimidated workers to win votes. The firm stood by those claims following the board’s latest decision. “We strongly disagree with the conclusion and intend to appeal,” said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel in a statement. Meanwhile, the company is scaling back its growth, abandoning plans for dozens of new facilities and will close two delivery stations in Maryland next month.
