Do these complaints have any kind of teeth? I feel bad for the workers, especially the one mentioned. It’s of little comfort to a homeless person to have their complaints upheld if it doesn’t result in a change in their material circumstances.
- tyingq 5y agoThey can force compliance with an order, but no power for punitive awards, fines, etc. So basically they can force giving the job back with back pay. If I were this particular worker, knowing the NLRB will force at least that, I would ask for something much higher to settle. Though I suppose if you're homeless, you may not have that option to wait.
- kadoban 5y agoThey have some teeth, yeah. Not enough that Amazon won't do similar things again though, I'm sure. Back pay and reinstatement are possible outcomes (in general for complaints, tbh I have no idea for this one), so it could have a real effect on the wronged.
