Labor complaints hang over Amazon union election
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Gerald Bryson was fired by Amazon in April 2020 after taking part in several protests of the company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic at its Staten Island, N.Y., facilities.
Nearly two years later, and despite the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) finding that he was illegally discharged, Bryson is still fighting to get his job back.
While the lengthy legal process to restore Bryson's role and grant him much needed backpay has played out, his colleagues at the JFK8 facility have formed a union that is in the midst of a contentious election.
Bryson's firing and the subsequent delay of his reinstatement have hung over the process. And his case is not the only unfair labor practice charge lobbied against Amazon that remains unresolved as the vote unfolds.
