Amazon must reinstate a former warehouse worker who was fired after a protest against the e-commerce giant's working conditions at its Staten Island facility early in the pandemic, a judge ruled Monday. Amazon said it will appeal the ruling.
Why it matters: In his decision, administrative law judge Benjamin Green agreed with the National Labor Relations Board's findings that Gerald Bryson was fired for protesting safety conditions in April 2020, which he said was "unlawful." He ruled that Bryson was owed back pay for "discriminatory discharge."
