Amazon must reinstate warehouse worker fired after protest, judge rules
AxiosAPR 2022
Amazon violated Bryson's employment rights. This finding holds the online behemoth accountable for its illegal and discriminatory actions.
Bryson cursed at and bullied a co-worker in the immediate vicinity of the workplace. Amazon were right not to tolerate his behavior and are entirely justified in appealing the ruling.
The David-versus-Goliath victory of Amazon employees in New York unionizing doesn't guarantee that the consolidation of worker power will spread to other locations. It isn't yet clear whether this is a one-off occurrence or the start of a trend. In any case, Amazon will certainly use its enormous resources to tackle efforts to unionize elsewhere.
