Amazon.com Inc workers at a small facility in New Jersey have shown enough interest to hold a vote on unionizing, the US&nbsp;National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said on Monday.

At least 60 of 200 workers from Amazon`s DNK5 depot in Bayonne, New Jersey, have submitted cards seeking to organize as part of Local 713 International Brotherhood of the Trade Union, the NLRB said.

The news follows growing interest in organizing at Amazon, which for years had resisted unions in its US&nbsp;operations.

Just last month, thousands of employees at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island voted to organize under a different group known as the Amazon Labor Union, and workers at a second Staten Island warehouse are weighing later this month whether to unionize.

An election date and terms have yet to be agreed upon for the delivery station DNK5. Amazon could dispute the validity of this latest petition.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Our system is broken, Amazon took full advantage of that, and we will be calling on the labor board to hold Amazon accountable for its illegal and egregious behavior during the campaign,” RWDSU president, Stuart Appelbaum, said.

“But make no mistake about it; this still represents an important moment for working people and their voices will be heard.”

The RWDS has also accused Amazon of “corrupting the election” by pressurising the USPS to install a mailbox on the Amazon property, making the employees cast the ballot on the Amazon premises instead of someplace with more free surveillance. The group cited the documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act request to make this accusation
