Amazon CEO Andy Jassy broke labor law with anti-union remarks, judge rules—and tells the online giant to remind employees of their rights

A U.S. National Labor Relations Board judge ruled that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy's 2022 anti-union remarks violated federal labor laws. Jassy's comments suggested that unionization would disempower employees and slow down workplace improvements, lacking an objective basis for such assertions. The judge ordered Amazon to post notices informing employees of their rights, while Amazon plans to appeal, defending the statements as part of free speech. The Amazon Labor Union hailed the decision as a protective measure for workers' rights to organize.
