On Monday, a judge ordered Amazon to reinstate a former warehouse employee and pay him two years' worth of lost wages.

Amazon is planning to appeal a new court ruling that ordered the retail giant to reinstate an employee, claiming that he was not terminated for protesting a lack of safety protocols but rather for"bullying" another worker at the warehouse.Gerald Bryson, a former employee at Staten Island, New York's JFK8 warehouse, in April 2020 and ordered the company to reinstate Bryson and pay him in lost wages and benefits resulting from the"discriminatory discharge.

Bryson's termination centers on an altercation that occurred at a protest outside the warehouse in the early days of the pandemic. The National Labor Relations Board took up Bryson's case, arguing that he was fired in retaliation for protesting Amazon's safety conditions—a claim similar to the one made by, who was also fired by Amazon in the spring of 2020 after he organized a walkout over the company's COVID protocols.
