Amazon.com Inc has told a federal judge that a U.S. labor board's bid to force the company to reinstate a fired New York warehouse worker is pointless because a union recently won an election at the facility and is enjoying 'massive media attention and public support.'
New York warehouse voted to unionize in April - Amazon.com Inc has told a federal judge that a U.S. labor board's bid to force the company to reinstate a fired New York warehouse worker is pointless because a union recently won an election at the facility and is enjoying "massive media attention and public support.
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday. The company has said its productivity standards for workers are fair and based on what the majority of workers actually accomplish, and denied engaging in unlawful labor practices. An NLRB administrative law judge in April, just before the union election, ruled that Bryson's firing violated federal labor law. Amazon has appealed that decision to the five-member board.
