They are supposed to be Leftist, aren't they? Amazon’s anti-union conduct made free election “impossible,” NLRB officer finds.
Amazon interfered with a union-certification vote, and a second election should be held, a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) official wrote in a report released yesterday. Amazon's anti-union misconduct made a "free and fair election... impossible," the report said.
Just like the Corporate bigwigs on the Right (and corporate-owned GOP) are not really conservative, Corporate bigwigs on the Left are not really Liberal. Progressive ideology is all about control. Oligarchy would be a better term for it. Just shut up and do what they tell you.
Amazon is appealing, so there may or may not be another election.
Amazon's bad behavior included distribution of anti-union materials at mandatory meetings, though the anti-union vote did win by a large margin.
Amazon is famous for treating their warehouse employees badly, though I haven't read anything about them in a while. (Here's a link to an old post of mine about how they allegedly contributed to the death of someone having a heart attack.) But I can see where the imposition of work rules - including such things as breaks - would be frightening for such an "enlightened" company. Just shut up and do what they tell you to do.
And I'm not really shocked to discover that Amazon is being underhanded when it comes to unions.
