The National Labor Relations Board ruled that Amazon violated labor laws during its campaign to persuade the employees at an Alabama warehouse against a unionization effort in April, NBC News reports.
The workers at the Bessemer, Alabama warehouse may be allowed to cast new votes to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers Union, or the the director of the regional NLRB office, based in Atlanta, may decide to unilaterally decide that the union may organize.
Amazon reportedly went to extreme measures to disrupt the organization efforts, from holding mandatory meetings about the evils of unions; hiring people to walk the warehouse floor to talk workers out of unionizing; and hanging signs on the inside and outside of bathroom stall about not unionizing.
