NLRB accuses Amazon of threatening and surveilling warehouse workers

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has accused Amazon of illegally surveilling and threatening workers at their Staten Island warehouse who are trying to unionize. The NLRB wants Amazon to inform workers of their right to organize. The complaint alleges that Amazon broke the law by interrogating employees about their organizing activities, calling union organizers thugs, and threatening employees by suggesting it would be futile to select the union as their bargaining representative. Amazon denies any wrongdoing but the NLRB's complaint comes as the Amazon labor union has collected enough signatures to trigger a union election at the Staten Island warehouse.
