Case: Labor Relations/Interference (N.L.R.B.)

The National Labor Relations Board ruled that Amazon’s announcement of enhancements to a previously existing career choice program that provided reimbursement to employees for educational expense didn’t unlawfully discourage the employees from selecting the union as their representative, and didn’t violate the National Labor Relations Act. The board ruled that this announcement, while made after the unionization drive had begun, didn’t make any reference to the union or the unionization drive, and the general counsel had previously failed to litigate the motive for this action during previous hearings involving the union at this facility.
