A federal administrative law judge ruled that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy breached labor law by making anti-union remarks during media interviews in 2022. The ruling stemmed from a complaint by the National Labor Relations Board, highlighting statements where Jassy suggested workers were better off without a union. While some predictions about unionization were deemed lawful, others implying reduced empowerment under a union were deemed unlawful. Amazon plans to appeal, asserting free speech rights. Jassy’s comments coincided with heightened unionization efforts at Amazon following a union’s victory in a New York City warehouse vote. The ruling advises Amazon to refrain from similar comments and post notices signaling compliance.
