Amazon—Amazon settled NLRB charges of illegal worker retaliation, must post notices at all 1,300 US facilities about right to organize
On March 31, 2026, Amazon settled with the NLRB over charges filed by the Teamsters regarding illegal retaliation against striking workers. Amazon had docked unpaid time off (UPT) for more than 100 employees who walked off the job. Settlement terms require Amazon to restore docked UPT, post notices at all 1,300 facilities nationwide informing workers of their right to organize, and agree not to terminate or discriminate against striking workers. The NLRB stated the UPT deductions were 'unlawfully coercive.' Amazon did not admit wrongdoing.
