At the end of the first day of counting, votes against unionizing at Amazon in Bessemer, Alabama lead the yes votes by a nearly 2-1 margin. With almost half the votes counted, that lead will be almost impossible to overcome. Vote counting resumes tomorrow morning.

From the outset, the organizing drive was a David-versus-Goliath story — and the Amazon Goliath used every legal mechanism in its arsenal, along with plenty of illegal ones that the union is contesting, to keep workers from voting for the union. Roughly 55 percent of the warehouse workers voted, with 3,215 ballots cast.
