In-person voting at JFK8 will last until March 30, with votes set to be counted on March 31.Keisha Renaud, 50, an associate from East Orange, New Jersey, said she would leave the facility if it unionizes.“The energy they are taking to start a union, why didn’t they take that energy to start a team to talk to the managers. I think Amazon would listen,” she said, wearing a pink shirt that says vote no.'NO EXPERIENCE'Some workers said they are open to a unionized workplace but have concerns about Amazon Labor Union’s ability to advocate on their behalf.“The union has no experience at all,” said Claudia Rodriguez, 58, who has worked at JFK8 for four years. Rodriguez, while walking up to the voting tent, said she was still on the fence about whether to back the union.Workers at the company's other warehouse in Staten Island, LDJ5, will also vote in person on whether to unionize starting April 25, according to a NLRB election notice.A rerun of last year's failed union organizing campaign at Amazon's warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, is also scheduled to conclude Friday. Votes will be counted starting on March 28 for this second closely watched election.The National Labor Relations Board found that Amazon improperly interfered in the original contest, when the company won by a two-to-one margin.The American labor movement has gained momentum over the past year, motivated by the high-profile Alabama campaign, ongoing pandemic concerns and strikes.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9010590189,"gmtCreate":1648424633081,"gmtModify":1676534335414,"author":{"id":"3580799596568967","authorId":"3580799596568967","name":"WifeWhyWhy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/27b090f2d194da555f7652c92f28fc6b","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3580799596568967","authorIdStr":"3580799596568967"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":2,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010590189","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9010257166,"gmtCreate":1648420624562,"gmtModify":1676534334603,"author":{"id":"3582922989777578","authorId":"3582922989777578","name":"SPOT_ON","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/080f029371339d9db26930961de6adb1","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3dee1aa3a3a3c1814833a4d3f8a5669","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3582922989777578","authorIdStr":"3582922989777578"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010257166","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9010819680,"gmtCreate":1648337298855,"gmtModify":1676534327883,"author":{"id":"4108816210230400","authorId":"4108816210230400","name":"YJ Lee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4108816210230400","authorIdStr":"4108816210230400"},"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010819680","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9010330019,"gmtCreate":1648255604706,"gmtModify":1676534322098,"author":{"id":"4110693792716482","authorId":"4110693792716482","name":"tommieee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4110693792716482","authorIdStr":"4110693792716482"},"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010330019","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9010929687,"gmtCreate":1648248139086,"gmtModify":1676534320453,"author":{"id":"3583022584778848","authorId":"3583022584778848","name":"SCTan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2918148f03cc75616ed35429e409b75","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3583022584778848","authorIdStr":"3583022584778848"},"htmlText":"&nbsp;Good","listText":"&nbsp;Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010929687","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9010994566,"gmtCreate":1648222707788,"gmtModify":1676534319207,"author":{"id":"3581250367192554","authorId":"3581250367192554","name":"carroll","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581250367192554","authorIdStr":"3581250367192554"},"htmlText":"hi","listText":"hi","text":"hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9010994566","repostId":1119069777,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":168,"commentSize":9,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko;
