NLRB Prohibits Captive Audience Meetings

On November 13, 2024, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruled in favor of Amazon Labor Union in the case against Amazon.com Services LLC. The decision centered on allegations that Amazon had violated labor laws by using coercive tactics to deter unionization efforts at its Staten Island, New York, warehouse. The Board upheld findings that Amazon’s actions, including surveillance and discriminatory enforcement of workplace policies, undermined workers’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act. The ruling highlighted the NLRB’s commitment to protecting workers’ rights to organize without employer interference.
