A federal judge has ordered Amazon to stop retaliating against employees engaged in workplace activism.
FILE - People arrive for work at the Amazon distribution center in the Staten Island borough of New York, on Oct. 25, 2021. A federal judge has ordered Amazon to stop retaliating against employees engaged in workplace activism, issuing a mixed ruling Friday, Nov. 18, 2022, that also hands a loss to the federal labor agency that sued the company earlier this year.
In its lawsuit, the agency argued Amazon’s termination of the former employee, Gerald Bryson, was unlawful and would have a chilling effect on organizing. It said that not reinstating Bryson to his role would make workers think the agency would not be able to protect their labor rights under federal law.
But Gujarati denied the agency’s request to reinstate Bryson.
the company pursued a “skewed investigation” into the dispute designed to blame Bryson. Amazon has said it would appeal that ruling in the NLRB's own administrative process. Friday's court ruling came from a separate federal case filed by the agency, which doesn't have enforcement powers.
