Henderson also rejected Amazon\u2019s argument that it was making voting easier and was trying to encourage as high a turnout as possible.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/amazon-union-vote_66.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Union supporter with sign outside Bessemer, Alabama Amazon fulfillment center\" class=\"wp-image-20795365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/amazon-union-vote_66.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/amazon-union-vote_66.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/amazon-union-vote_66.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Union supporters, like this worker campaigning outside\u00a0the\u00a0Amazon BHM1 fulfillment center\u00a0in Bessemer, Alabama, will have until late March to cast their votes.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AFP via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
