The Amazon Labor Union has officially been certified by the National Labor Relations Board, the union announced on Wednesday night. Amazon is now legally obligated to start bargaining a contract in good faith with the ALU, nine months after workers first won their union election at the company’s mammoth JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island.

“We're demanding that Amazon now, after certification, meet and bargain with us,” said Seth Goldstein, partner at Julien, Mirer, Singla, and Goldstein and lawyer for the ALU. “We're demanding bargaining, and if we need to, we're going to move to get a court order enforcing our bargaining rights. It's outrageous that they've been violating federal labor while they continue to do so.”
