Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy has been found to have violated federal labor law with his anti-union statements by a judge of the National Labor Relations Board.
What Happened: On Wednesday, NLRB Administrative Law Judge, Brian Gee, ruled that Jassy’s comments about unionization efforts at Amazon in 2022 violated federal labor law, reported CNBC.
Jassy’s remarks, made in interviews with CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Bloomberg Television, and The New York Times’ DealBook conference, suggested that unionization would lead to a less empowered workforce and a slower, more bureaucratic workplace.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Jassy remarked, “If you see something on the line that you think could be better for your team or you or your customers, you can’t just go to your manager and say, ‘Let’s change it.’”
The judge found these comments to be threatening, as they implied that employees would be less empowered and find it harder to get things done quickly if they voted for a union.
However, Jassy’s other comments about unionization changing the workers’ relationship with their employer were deemed lawful.
