The National Labor Relations Board accused Amazon of illegally surveilling, interrogating and threatening unionizing employees at its warehouse in Staten Island, New York.
Last year, Amazon also faced discipline from federal officials whenthat the company illegally interfered with the union election in Bessemer, Alabama – a union drive that gained national attention and inspired over 1,000 Amazon workers across the country to contact the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union about unionization.
The company had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, hiring union-busting consultants and police to quash the union drive. The company employed numerous anti-union tactics, but the NLRB with a mailbox that Amazon installed on warehouse grounds with the likely intention of surveilling employees casting their ballots. The mailbox was plastered with anti-union slogans, and there were multiple cameras installed around it.Even as Amazon is facing a second union vote, however, the company hasthe mailbox on warehouse grounds. Although the mailbox has been moved further away, workers say that it is still surveilled by cameras and patrolled.
“The mailbox’s continued existence on Amazon’s property stands as a stark physical memorial of a tainted election,” said Jennifer Bates, a Bessemer worker, at a RWDSU press conference.
