Amazon Claims New York Union Organizers Bribed Workers with Weed to Gain Votes
Amazon is claiming that New York union organizers gave marijuana to workers in an attempt to secure their unionization votes. Recreational marijuana is legal in New York, and a lawyer for the Amazon Labor Union responded that handing out cannabis is “no different than distributing free t-shirts and it certainly did not act to interfere with the election.”
Business Insider reports that Amazon is alleging that New York union organizers provided free marijuana to workers in an effort to convince them to vote in favor of the union. The objection is just one of many made by Amazon on Friday as the company aims to overturn a recent vote that created the first union in the history of the tech giant.

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) announced on April 1 that a majority of workers at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York, voted to join the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). Amazon is now challenging the vote and claims that the ALU and NLRB suppressed voter turnout.
Amazon made a filing on Friday in which it questioned the ALU’s methods to win the unionization vote. Amazon’s lawyers state that ALU organizers distributed cannabis to workers ahead of the vote and that the NLRB “cannot condone such a practice as a legitimate method of obtaining support for a labor organization.”
In 2021, it was made legal for New Yorkers love the age of 21 to use recreational marijuana. Eric Milner, a lawyer for the ALU, told the Associated Press that organizers handing out cannabis was “no different than distributing free t-shirts and it certainly did not act to interfere with the election.”
Amazon claimed in a previous filing that union organizers also interfered with employees waiting in line to vote and threatened immigrant workers that they may lose their benefits if they did not vote in favor of the union. Connor Spence, the ALU’s vice president of membership, said that Amazon’s claims “have no merit” and are intended to “suppress a democratic outcome.” Spence added: “We urge Amazon to cease these childish legal games, respect the voices of their workers, and engage in behavior that is more becoming of ‘Earth’s Best Employer.'”

Amazon announced its plans to appeal the warehouse workers’ union election in a legal filing released publicly earlier this week. In the recent unionization vote, 55 percent of workers at the JFK8 warehouse voted to join the Amazon Labor Union; now the company has until April 22 to formally file an objection to the unionization with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
The company wrote in its filing that it believe that the union threatened employees to vote to unionize. Interestingly, the NLRB has accused Amazon of threatening employees to do the exact opposite. The e-commerce giant also alleged that the union engaged in “electioneering” or interfering with employees as they waited to vote.
Amazon is claiming that long wait times at polling booths resulted in a low voter turnout. The company is further alleging that organizers stood near polling areas, intimidating voters. The Seattle-based company claims that union organizers even threatened immigrant employees with the loss of their rights if they did not vote in favor of the union.
Eric Milner, a lawyer representing the ALU, stated: “To say that the Amazon Labor Union was threatening employees is really absurd. The Amazon Labor Union is Amazon employees.”
Another labor union attempting to organize at Amazon’s Bessemer, Alabama, facility has since filed its objections regarding the pending results of its recent rerun election. The Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union (RWDSU) claims that Amazon engaged in “countless attempts to intimidate workers” at the Bessemer facility.
The RWDSU claims that Amazon went as far as to fire or suspend workers who supported unionization at the facility. RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum in a statement: “Amazon’s behavior must not go unchallenged, and workers in Bessemer, Alabama must have their rights protected under the law. We urge the NLRB to carefully review our objections and ensure no company, not even with the bottomless pockets of Amazon, is allowed to act above the law.”
