Amazon filed its objections to the Staten Island union vote, in which workers last week for the first time chose to unionize one of the company’s U.S. warehouses.
The company alleged that the regional office of the agency, based in Brooklyn, “created the impression” it was supporting the union by filing a lawsuit against Amazon before the vote. Amazon also alleged the NLRB delayed investigating “unmeritorious” unfair labor practice charges and understaffed the election.
“Amazon probably figures it has nothing to lose by exhausting every possible appeals process because time is on its side,” said John Logan, chair of the labor and employment studies department at San Francisco State University. A representative for the Amazon Labor Union said none of Amazon’s objections had merit and called them a tactic to delay the union.“It’s a blatant attempt by Amazon to interfere with and go around the democratic choice of their workforce,” Amazon worker and labor organizer Connor Spence said. “If they really were striving to be ‘Earth’s Best Employer,’ they wouldn’t engage in this kind of behavior.
In the New York election, Amazon’s objections include an allegation that the NLRB improperly helped the union reach a required threshold of signatures from employees to file for the vote. The agency did this by removing more than 1,500 employees from the list of eligible workers, Amazon alleged. The agency will hold a hearing to consider Amazon’s objections in Staten Island once all the evidence is in.Amazon objected to an NLRB suit filed against the company before the vote, which asked for a court to order Amazon to reinstate a fired worker.
