It's quite possible. They'll need to unionize several more Amazon facilities in that region to prevent that outcome. Not sure how many more are in process.

The other vote in Alabama failed, by more than 10%.

New York had a long history of powerful unions. Alabama had a long history of not having unions.

It’s currently… 47% pro-union to 53% no-union in Alabama, with over 15% (400+ ballots) challenged by both sides. It could go either way, but “more than 10%” is not backed by any metrics.

From the article I read in the NY Times it was a gap of over 10% https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/31/technology/amazon-union-e...

The final decision is not here yet. Resolving the contested ballots could still swing it either way (as of this moment).
