US labor board bans mandatory anti-union meetings in ruling against Amazon

Quick Summary:

Amazon.com made unlawful promises and threats during mandatory meetings to discourage unionizing at a New York City warehouse, a U.S.labor board said on Wednesday while banning employers from holding such meetings moving forward.

Amazon also removed union-related posts on an internet message board and threatened to discipline a JFK8 employee if she re-posted them, the board found.

The NLRB's ban on captive audience meetings is likely to face legal challenges by employers, including claims that the ban violates businesses' free-speech rights.
