This alliance aims to amplify their influence in future negotiations with the e-commerce giant.
Approximately 98% of ALU members supported the partnership, which seeks to enhance their bargaining power in securing better employment conditions for Amazon workers, reported Bloomberg.
The ALU previously achieved a significant organization win in 2022 at an Amazon facility on Staten Island, but faced setbacks with losses in two subsequent union elections and internal disputes.
Efforts to engage Amazon in official negotiations have stalled, further complicating their campaign.
Chris Smalls, a prominent leader within the ALU, along with 15 other union officials, recently finalized an agreement in Washington, D.C. with Teamsters President Sean O'Brien to strengthen their collaboration, per the report.
O'Brien's organization represents approximately 1.3 million workers, enhancing the potential impact of this union alliance.
