Despite heavy lobbying by the company, workers at the facility voted
by a wide margin for a union. It was seen as a rebuke of the
company's treatment of its employees.

By Karen Weise and Noam Scheiber

It was a union organizing campaign that few expected to have a
chance. A handful of employees at Amazon's massive warehouse on Staten
Island, operating without support from national labor organizations,
took on one of the most powerful companies in the world.

And, somehow, they won.

Workers at the facility voted by a wide margin to form a union,
according to results released on Friday, in a landmark win for a
campaign targeting the country's second-largest employer and one of
the biggest victories for organized labor in a generation.
