An Amazon spokesperson responded that “the NLRB’s certification of the March 2022 election is wrong on the facts and the law.”
In its April 1 decision, the NLRB noted that Amazon denies it has unlawfully refused to bargain. The company asserted it has no duty to bargain and is contesting the validity of the certification of the union based on its contention that the union is not the exclusive collective bargaining representative of any employee at its fulfillment center on Staten Island, the board said. However, Amazon litigated or could have litigated all representation issues in the prior representation proceeding, the NLRB stated.
Amazon claimed the union’s charge that it had violated the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) was untimely. “Unlike cases in which a bargaining demand was never made, the union requested bargaining immediately after the election, and the parties litigated the election results for the next 10 months,” the NLRB said.
