... that Jennifer Bates has been leading thousands of Amazon warehouse workers to vote for a union in Bessemer, Alabama? Source: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/jennifer-bates-amazon-union-organizer-interview-jeff-bezos-1147426/

The article long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. A QPQ is not needed. I'm not sure that the hook is correct according to the article. The article says, "738 workers voted in support of a union, out of the roughly 2,500 ballots counted, a number staggeringly lower than the petitioned authorization cards reported to be over 3,000." It does say that Amazon might have interfered and that they allowed a re-vote per the National Relations Board, but the article doesn't say what that number is. There are thousands of Amazon warehouse workers she is trying to organize, but leading is not in the article. SL93 (talk) 00:04, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: I see that's another interpretation I hadn't considered, it was meant to reference that thousands filed for the petition.
