Jassy popped up on CNBC<\/em> in April 2022 to say that if employees voted for and joined a union, they would become less empowered and could expect things to become \u201cmuch slower\u201d and \u201cmore bureaucratic.\u201d In an interview with Bloomberg<\/em>, he added, \u201cIf you see something on the line that you think could be better for your team or you or your customers, you can\u2019t just go to your manager and say, \u2018Let\u2019s change it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

He capped off his union-busting trifecta at The New York Times<\/em> DealBook conference, where the CEO said that a workplace without unions isn\u2019t \u201cbureaucratic, it\u2019s not slow.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latest in Amazon\u2019s long<\/a> history<\/a> of union-busting behavior<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NLRB Judge Brian Gee said Jassy violated labor laws by suggesting employees would be less empowered or \u201cbetter off\u201d without a union. However, Gee said the CEO\u2019s other comments about worker-employer relationships changing were lawful. According to the judge, the difference is that the more aggressive quotes \u201cwent beyond merely commenting on the employee-employer relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gee added that the comments \u201cthreatened employees that, if they selected a union, they would become less empowered and find it harder to get things done quickly.\u201d The judge recommends that Amazon \u201ccease and desist\u201d from making similar comments in the future. The company is also required to post and share a note about the judge\u2019s order with all of its US employees.<\/p>\n

In December, Jassy\u2019s Amazon shares were valued<\/a> at $328 million, making him one of America\u2019s wealthiest CEOs.<\/p>\n

In a statement to CNBC<\/em>, an Amazon spokesperson said the judge\u2019s ruling \u201creflects poorly on the state of free speech rights today.\u201d Because, hey, what kind of free country do we even have if a retail magnate can\u2019t tell low-income workers scary bedtime stories about the perils of voting to empower themselves in the workplace?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
