Update: A majority of workers have voted not to form a union at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Bessemer, Alabama. The result of the NLRB's initial vote count was 1,798 votes against the union and 738 in favor. Hundreds of additional ballots were not counted because their authenticity was disputed. But the "no" side already has a majority of the 3,215 votes cast, making the issue moot.
Original story, April 8: A closely watched effort to unionize an Amazon fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama appears to be headed for defeat. With about half the votes counted, 1,100 workers have voted against forming a union, while only 463 voted in favor.
The National Labor Relations Board is counting the 3,215 votes that were cast by workers at the Bessemer facility. The union needs to win at least half the votes in order to become the official representative of the roughly 6,000 workers at the Bessemer facility. Counting has ended for the evening and is scheduled to resume at 8:30 am Central Time on Friday.

And with spectacularly stupid population of serfs like these, you expect to... colonize Mars?

He's talking about Americans. Only thing worse than dragons (Gerard Butler's character in "Reign of Fire"), and only people with less education than dragons (rather Smaugish, it's a fever).

And who are you, who have no stake in the outcome, to call the workers stupid for making a choice that doesn't fit your political bias?

It's Mojibake. Some flavour of Russian, probably an alcoholic.

Do you have any idea how many Czechs there are in SN? Not as many Slovaks, but that is to be expected.
