Specifically, America’s National Labor Relations Board (or NLRB) plans to throw out Amazon’s objections to a vote by 2,600 workers to unionize at one of the company’s warehouses, according to the Washington Post. “The company has held up the proceedings in an objection hearing that dragged on for months,” the Post adds, but the ruling “clears a path for the union to become the first certified bargaining unit within the company’s vast e-commerce empire.”
