Amazon said that a mail election raised the risk of fraud and the coercion of workers.

 The world’s largest online retailer said that a mail election raised the risk of fraud and the coercion of workers.  It also said the process would depress turnout, arguing that as many as 29% of its more than 5,800 employees eligible to vote wouldn’t do so or would return incorrectly completed ballots.                                                                  Amazon had proposed holding the election in a heated tent set up in the facility’s parking lot and offered use of software designed to enforce social distancing.  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-22/amazon-requests-in-person-union-vote-in-covid-plagued-alabama?sref=ZMFHsM5Z
