Amazon CEO Andy Jassy violated labor laws by saying workers are “better off” without a union during interviews, the National Labor Relations Board ruled.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy violated labor laws when making “coercive statements” about unions during interviews conducted in 2022, a judge for the National Labor Relations Board ruled on Wednesday. The ruling, which stems from a complaint filed in October 2022, cites three instances in which Jassy commented negatively about unions. During an interview with CNBC in April 2022, Jassy said employees are “better off” not forming a union.
” 'An NLRB judge said that Jassy’s statements “threatened employees”' In the ruling, NLRB Judge Brian Gee said that Jassy’s statements “threatened employees,” implying that “if they selected a union, they would become less empowered and would find it harder to get things done quickly.” Judge Gee recommends that Amazon cease and desist from making threatening statements about unions. He also recommends that Amazon post a notice at its facilities that reminds workers of their rights.
