The Democratic Party is prohibiting its consultants from providing clients with anti-union guidance following a report that a top Democratic consultancy firm provided Amazon with unsuccessful guidance on how to quash a union drive.

The new restriction will come in the form of an addendum between any Democratic Party political committee and a consultant, according to Politico. The provision explicitly establishes that consultants cannot be used for "union-busting, aiding an employer in a labor dispute or lobbying against union-backed legislation."
