A National Labor Relations Board ruling determined that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy violated labor laws when he made anti-union comments in media interviews. During interviews, CEO Jassy stated that workers were better off without unions and would be less empowered if they joined unions. The judge advised CEO Jassy to avoid making threatening comments toward employees who support unionization. The ruling also advised the company to post notices regarding Amazon's compliance with the NLRB ruling. Amazon has released a statement saying that his comments were not illegal and the company would be filing an appeal against the ruling. The comments were made by CEO Jassy as Amazon workers around the United States were organizing union efforts. Amazon has refused to recognize or bargain with any Amazon worker unions and has been appealing the union representation of Amazon workers.
