Amazon says US labor watchdog that filed labor charges violates constitution (www.theguardian.com)

‘Our voices are only going to get louder’, workers warn tech giant after Atlanta warehouse writes up employees

Amazon has argued the country’s top labor watchdog is violating the constitution as the company fights to dismiss unfair labor practice charges, leaning on a recent conservative US supreme court ruling.

In a filing last month, attorneys representing the technology giant pushed back against a complaint issued by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after two Georgia workers alleged that they faced retaliation, surveillance and interrogation after exercising their right to organize.

The workers, based at the ATL6 Amazon warehouse on the outskirts of Atlanta, filed charges in 2023. The NLRB’s regional office issued a complaint against Amazon after finding merit in the charges. A court hearing is scheduled for October.

Amazon, which denies the allegations, is seeking to dismiss the complaint on constitutional grounds.

Amazon: Now that homelessness is a crime, and we don't pay our employees enough to afford a home, we are allowed to have slaves under the 14th amendment.

I'm semi-expecting that before I die there will be a push for some sort of "Right to labor law", which will allow companies to involuntarily force the unemployed into their employment at prison wages (after all, we wouldn't want the unemployed to give up their dreams, right? So we need to incentivize them to go out and get a real job)
