Amazon faces legal trouble for using ‘illegal’ tactics against labour unions in US

Amazon has reportedly violated labour laws in the US. A US labour board has accused the e-commerce major of illegally refusing to bargain with a union representing drivers employed by one of its contractors. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a complaint alleging that Amazon acted as a “joint employer” of drivers working for Battle Tested Strategies (BTS) and employed illegal tactics to discourage union activities at a facility in Palmdale, California.
