The National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Amazon has illegally refused to bargain with its drivers’ union.

We really need to start prosecuting these rat-f%$#s criminally. 

If Jeff Bezos or Andy Jassy spent a few years cooling their heels in Club Fed, or even a few days waiting for bail to be adjudicated, there would be a lot less law breaking.

Whink of it as "Broken Windows Policing" for white people:

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed charges against Amazon, alleging that the e-commerce giant has illegally refused to bargain with a union representing drivers who are frustrated by what they claim are low wages and dangerous working conditions.

Back in August, drivers celebrated what they considered a major win when the NLRB found that Amazon was a joint employer of sub-contracted drivers, cheering "We are Amazon workers!" At that time, Amazon seemed to be downplaying the designation, telling Ars that the union was trying to "misrepresent" a merit determination that the NLRB confirmed was only "the first step in the NLRB’s General Counsel litigating the allegations after investigating an unfair labor practice charge."

But this week, the NLRB took the next step, signing charges soon after Amazon began facing intensifying worker backlash, not just from drivers but also from disgruntled office and fulfillment workers. According to Reuters, the NLRB accused Amazon of "a series of illegal tactics to discourage union activities" organized by drivers in a Palmdale, California, facility.

Amazon has found itself in increasingly hot water ever since the Palmdale drivers joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union in 2021. The NLRB's complaint called out Amazon for terminating its contract with the unionized drivers without ever engaging in bargaining.

Amazon and its executives knew what they were doing, and they made extensive plans to do so.

That's a felony, and is also covered by the RICO statutes, and it's a felony.

Frog march them out of their offices in handcuffs.
