Amazon

Amazon is buying One Medical, a primary care practice. The tech giant has already stepped into the health care world, but experts said this is a big step to expand Amazon's physical health presence.

Now that the pandemic-driven e-commerce boom has slowed, small and medium businesses that sell products on Amazon are feeling the squeeze.

An Amazon sorting center on Staten Island in New York has voted against unionizing, a month after a larger Amazon warehouse across the street voted to join the Amazon Labor Union.

Less than a month after the Amazon Labor Union unionized the first Amazon facility in the U.S., workers at a smaller warehouse across the street begin voting on whether to join the upstart union.

The new fee doesn't apply to sellers who use third party delivery services or ship orders themselves. Inflation in the U.S. stands at a 40-year high.

One labor and employment observer said the New York vote was "shocking," since Amazon workers there had no support from an established union.

Amazon will face two union elections at once. Federal officials have set a union vote for Amazon workers at a Staten Island warehouse, coinciding with the ongoing re-do election in Bessemer, Ala.

As several states relax mask mandates, U.S. companies are easing up their own rules.

Last year, Alabama workers voted against forming the first unionized Amazon warehouse in the U.S. Then, federal labor officials said Amazon unfairly influenced that election. Now, a re-vote begins.

Federal labor officials found enough support among Amazon workers on Staten Island to pave the way for a union election. It could be the second union vote for Amazon this year.
