Amazon accused of compromising union efforts, workers explore new vote

A National Labor Relations Board official said on Monday that Amazon violated labor laws by exercising illegal influence over workers’ votes during unionization efforts, recommending that the results of the company’s unionization vote in Alabama be overturned.

The official recommended that the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store Union’s complaints against Amazon be sustained due to evidence that the company was improperly distributing “vote no” materials while lobbying the influence of supervisors and managers on lower-level employees.
