Amazon union

The Amazon union vote was defeated with 1,798 against and 738 for with 505 challenged ballots. This is 3,041 votes out of 5,900 employees. No reason was given as to why the other 2,900 did not vote. One explanation I can think for the defeat of the union is that conditions at Amazon are favorable compared to other industries in the area. If their wages and benefits are competitive they will maintain the status quo.
