#Amazon Says It Has a #FirstAmendment Right to #UnionBust
In response to an #NLRB complaint, Amazon argues that preventing it from holding captive-audience meetings violates Constitution. Amazon argues it is not the employer of these drivers because of its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) system—Amazon contracts third-party delivery companies as DSPs, which in turn employ drivers, though it has hired anti-#union consultants specifically to target its #deliverydrivers.

Companies That #UnionBust Must Now Automatically Recognize #Union, #NLRB Rules
A new framework for #unionizations means that a company must voluntarily recognize a union or demand an election—and can no longer interfere with the election. https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy3xej/companies-that-union-bust-must-now-automatically-recognize-union-nlrb-rules

This is huge!

If a company illegally tries to suppress union organizing or interfere with any other labor union activity it will be forced to immediately recognize the union.

“The #NationalLaborRelationsBoard just made it a whole lot harder to #unionbust.”
