Professor Barry Eidlin writes in the Washington Post about the undemocratic nature of union representation elections in the United States.

ximena.ramirezvillanueva@mail.mcgill.ca — Fri, 23 Apr 2021 18:17:45 +0000

Labour unions in the United States have suffered a series of high-profile defeats in union representation elections in recent years, most recently at Amazon in Bessemer, Alabama. While some might think this indicates that workers are not interested in unionizing, available polling data suggests that far more workers want unions than currently have them. The problem, as Assistant Professor Barry Eidlin argues in the聽Washington Post, is the profoundly broken and undemocratic union election system that currently exists.

Professor Barry Eidlin comments on Alabama Amazon union loss in the Globe and Mail.

ximena.ramirezvillanueva@mail.mcgill.ca — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 01:50:58 +0000

On April 9, 2021, one of the most high-profile union elections in recent U.S. history came to a close. Workers at the Amazon warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama voted by more than 2-1 against joining a union, following a months-long campaign that drew international media attention. This was a major setback for U.S. unions, who see unionizing Amazon as key to reviving labor鈥檚 fortunes. In an op-ed published in the聽Globe and Mail聽on April 10, Prof. Barry Eidlin explained both what made the election so聽significant, and what the loss means for the future of labor.
