A unionization watchdog agency that has been organizing unionization efforts at Amazon’s warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, announced its intention to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleging Amazon has participated in explicit anti-union activities — the second such complaint in about six months.
“Removing union literature from break rooms, limiting workers’ ability to talk with each other, compelling attendance at captive audience meetings to listen to anti-union messages — all of these actions expose Amazon’s undisguised efforts to stifle workers’ voices and its contempt for their rights to join together,” former NLRB chairman Wilma Libman said in a statement. “What’s Amazon afraid of?”
