Workers at a company that delivered packages for Amazon are considered employees of the e-commerce giant, the National Labor Relations Board said Thursday, rejecting Amazon's claim that it is not responsible for the subcontractor's staff.
“This strike has paved the way for every other Amazon worker in the country to demand what they deserve and to get Amazon to the bargaining table.” The NLRB did not find merit to all of the Teamsters' allegations, however. It dismissed, for example, a claim that Amazon's decision to end its contract with Battle-Tested Strategies was retaliatory. Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards said the NLRB had dismissed 'most of the Teamsters’ more significant claims.
