The union that successfully organized an Amazon warehouse is being sued by some former members who claim the union is violating its own constitution.
File - Christian Smalls, president of the Amazon Labor Union, speaks at a rally outside an Amazon facility on Staten Island in New York, Sunday, April 24, 2022. The union that successfully organized the Amazon warehouse in New York is being sued by some former members who claim the union is violating its own constitution.
Amazon, meanwhile, has been challenging the union’s initial win and still hasn’t come to the bargaining table. The reform group also accused the union of threatening disciplinary action against those who spoke in opposition, and said the group created internal union disarray as part of an effort to “suppress democratic dissent.”In a letter to the splinter group Friday, ALU attorney Jeanne Mirer called the claims “frivolous.”
