Thousands of Amazon workers begin voting in historic union recognition ballot

MORE than 3,000 Amazon workers began voting today on whether the online retail giant’s British arm should recognise a trade union for the first time.
Demonstrations took place at Amazon warehouses nationwide as workers at the company’s Coventry site began casting votes in the historic ballot.
It follows a three-week period in which union representatives were granted access to Amazon’s Coventry fulfilment centre by the government’s Central Arbitration Committee.
