The regional official has determined that the company held illegal mandatory meetings and made illegal threats in those sessions, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon said it holds the meetings to ensure employees understand the facts about unions and elections, and that for decades companies have been allowed to do so. &#8220;These allegations are false and we look forward to showing that through the process,&#8221; Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, said in an email.<\/p>\n<p>The upstart Amazon Labor Union last month decisively won an election to represent workers at an Amazon fulfillment center in Staten Island, the first time organized labor has gained a foothold at one of the e-commerce giant&#8217;s U.S. facilities. <\/p>\n<p>Amazon challenged the result, alleging the union broke election rules and that the NLRB violated its duty to be impartial by giving employees the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earance that the agency favored the union. Among its claims, Amazon said the union inappropriately tried &#8220;to interfere with and &#8216;shut down'&#8221; meetings with workers.<\/p>\n<p>During the election, Amazon held mandatory &#8220;information sessions,&#8221; during which managers and consultants made the case that workers should vote to reject the union. <\/p>\n<p>The practice is standard operating procedure for the company, which also held the meetings during union campaigns in Alabama and at a second Staten Island warehouse, where the ALU lost an election earlier this week. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a bit rich for Amazon to complain about interrupting captive-audience meetings&#8221; that are themselves &#8220;inherently coercive,&#8221; the union&#8217;s attorney Seth Goldstein said in an interview. &#8220;We hope that Amazon will agree to end this unlawful union-busting practice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The NLRB <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> counsel, Jennifer Abruzzo, said last month that she would seek to ban such meetings, declaring in a memo to the labor board&#8217;s regional chiefs that they constituted an unlawful threat to employees. The Amazon case could offer a vehicle for Abruzzo, an appointee of President Joe Biden, to get the issue before labor board members in Washington, where Democrats hold a majority due to other Biden appointments.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            Labor board seeks to force Amazon to reinstate fired worker\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a92022 Bloomberg L.P.<br \/>Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.<\/p>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Amazon anti-union confabs deemed illegal by labor officials (2022, May  9)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 10 May 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/techxplore.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\/2022-05-amazon-anti-union-confabs-deemed-illegal.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
