AutoZone White Plains workers seek first union, company spends $200k to resist

Eleven workers at an AutoZone in White Plains, New York, will vote on 25 September on joining UAW Local 259, aiming to become the first unionized store at the largest US auto parts retailer. AutoZone has reportedly spent about $200,000 on anti-union efforts, per LaborLab estimates. The outcome could signal labor organizing momentum in retail, though the small unit limits immediate market impact.
