Yet despite this, the union narrowly lost a ballot that would have forced Amazon to grant formal recognition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Based on ethnographic research and reflective essays from worker-leaders and organizers, this book offers a rich case study of the factors contributing to the union's successes and setbacks.
