Judge Rules Amazon ‘Engaged In Anti-Union’ Activities In New York

Adam Blair at Retail TouchPoints reports the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has won a ruling against Amazon for harassing Employees seeking to Unionize its JFK8 and DYY6 Fulfillment Facilities in Staten Island, New York.  An Administrative Law Judge found Amazon had violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by dismissing Employees early, altering Employees’ work assignments and subjecting Employees to closer supervision in retaliation for their support for the Amazon Labor Union.  The decision also found Amazon unlawfully interrogated Employees, disparaged the Union by using appeals to racial prejudice and derogatory racial stereotyping, and prohibited Employees from distributing Union literature and confiscating Union literature from Employees.  Unionization efforts at Amazon facilities have chalked up a mixed record: 55% of Employees at the JFK8 Facility voted to Unionize in April 2022, while an organizing effort at a Bessemer, Alabama Facility ultimately failed.
