NLRB Finds Amazon Unlawfully Confiscated Union Literature 4 Aug 2021 The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has reportedly found that e-commerce giant Amazon unlawfully confiscated union literature from workers. Vice’s Motherboard reports that according to charges from the NLRB, e-commerce giant Amazon illegally prohibited one employee from passing out pro-union literature to colleagues. The literature was reportedly confiscated, and workers were given the impression that any union organization activity at the company’s Staten Island fulfillment center in New York was under surveillance. Breitbart News reported this week that following the failure of a vote to unionize at e-commerce giant Amazon’s warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, the NLRB determined that Amazon violated labor laws during the voting process. Following the vote failure in April, union representatives accused Amazon of illegally interfering with employees’ votes in an effort to prevent them from unionizing.
