The NLRB seems to disagree with you: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/amazons-anti-union-conduct-made-free-election-impossible-nlrb-officer-finds/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/08/amazons-anti-uni....
- helsinkiandrew 5y agoDid you post the right link? That seems to validate my point. They broke no law that means they will be meaningfully fined or someone is serving jail time. They intimidated voters and behaved appallingly but NLRB called it "misconduct" and they "committed objectionable conduct". The worst case for Amazon seems to be that the vote will be reheld and their PR might possibly suffer.
- fgdhgjedfnngf 5y agoYes. The NLRB found that they violated Section 7 of the NLRA. Ergo, they broke the law. The NLRA has relatively toothless penalties, yes, but that's a separate issue.
