In a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Amazon and its consultants were found to have violated federal labor law by interrogating and making threats against employees who were involved in unionizing activities at a Staten Island warehouse. Amazon was also found guilty of racially disparaging union organizers. The violations occurred between May and October 2021 at the JFK8 warehouse in New York. The ruling came after almost a year of virtual hearings, during which testimonies from Amazon employees, managers, and labor consultants were presented.
