Marco Rubio endorses Amazon unionization effort, bringing bipartisan support
Summary
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on Friday sided with Amazon workers in Alabama who are in the midst of organizing their warehouse, lending bipartisan support behind the closely watched union vote. "Heres my standard: When the conflict is between working Americans and a company whose leadership has decided to wage culture war against working-class values, the choice is easy — I support the workers. Workers at the Alabama facility notified the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last November of their plans to hold a vote on whether to be represented by the RWDSU. Last week, a group of Democratic members of Congress traveled to the Bessemer warehouse to support the union vote. "Senator Rubios support demonstrates that the best way for working people to achieve dignity and respect in the workplace is through unionization," Applebaum said.
