A National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge ruled that Amazon illegally required employees to sign overly restrictive workplace agreements that limited their ability to discuss working conditions or engage in organizing. The decision found that confidentiality, non-solicitation, and non-interference rules dating back to 2020 unlawfully chilled protected activity under federal labor law. Amazon was ordered to stop enforcing the policies and rewrite them, as the case unfolds amid ongoing unionization efforts at the company’s warehouses.
