Continuing the long American tradition of wealthy corporate overlords making union-busting comments, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy went on a media blitz in 2022 to warn of the workplace-altering terrors of labor unions. (Surely, it\u2019s an unfortunate happenstance that his urgent PSA coincided with an uptick in organizing efforts at Amazon<\/a>.) Sadly for Mr. Jassy, the US still has a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and CNBC<\/em> reports<\/a> that the board ruled Wednesday that his anti-union comments broke federal labor laws.<\/p>\n 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
