Amazon workers in Bessemer, Alabama may get another chance at forming the company’s first-ever union. The news comes after a federal labor official found that Amazon may have violated U.S. labor laws by trying to influence the vote.

Warehouse employees voted against unionizing by a margin of more than 2-1.
