More "Tough Sledding", For Direct Line Amazon Management, At The Warehouses And Distribution Centers... How To "Police" It All?


Technically, this "change in access" policy is lawful on its face -- if it is not a pre-text -- to thwart unionization and advocacy rights, under § 8(a) (29 USC § 158(a)) of the NLRA (or, for management to effectuate a discriminatory policy achieving the same). Apparently, Amazon has changed its "access to buildings" policies.

From now on, according to MSM reports, no Amazon front-line team member may enter a company building in the US -- on any day they are not scheduled to work a shift. The claim is that it is a workplace safety measure. But it plainly impacts union advocates, who -- until now -- occasionally dropped by the break-rooms, on their days off. . . to chat up workers about the benefits of union membership.

I would expect a new NLRB charging letter -- alleging this is pre-textual. . . shortly.

Onward, out into the pleasantly-temperate sunshine -- time for a new sidewalk chalk / "Legends of the Hidden Temple" obstacle course, for the baby-girls now!

Clearly Amazon's Corporate/Security is monitoring each of my posts, now.
