Amazon.com Inc. workers at a New York facility voted to establish the tech giant’s first union in the U.S., providing a major victory for labor activists who have long sought to bring representation to the nation’s second-largest private employer.

Employees at the JFK8 facility, Amazon ’s largest in Staten Island, voted 2,654 to 2,131 in favor of organizing, the National Labor Relations Board said Friday. Sixty-seven ballots were contested by the parties and a handful were voided, but they weren’t enough to meaningfully affect the tally, the NLRB said. There were about 8,300 eligible voters, according to the NLRB.
