Amazon Declared 'Joint Employer' Of Contracted Delivery Drivers By Labor Board, Paving The Way For Union Negotiations
The National Labor Relations Board has determined that Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a "joint employer" of some contracted delivery drivers.
美国国家劳工关系委员会已经确定亚马逊公司(NASDAQ:AMZN) 是一些签约送货司机的"共同雇主"。
What Happened: The NLRB's regional director reviewed two unfair labor practice charges filed in January regarding Amazon's treatment of drivers at an Atlanta warehouse, known as DAT6. The drivers worked for a contractor called MJB Logistics, reported CNBC.
大约发生了什么事情:NLRB的区域型董事审核了一月份关于亚马逊对亚特兰大仓库(DAT6)司机待遇的两项违法工会活动指控。这些司机是来自一家名为MJb物流的承包商的,据CNBC报道。
Amazon has consistently resisted being labeled as a joint employer of its contracted delivery companies. However, lawmakers and labor groups, including the Teamsters union, argue that drivers wear Amazon-branded uniforms, drive Amazon-branded vans, and follow schedules set by Amazon.
亚马逊一直抗拒被贴上其承包送货公司联合雇主的标签。然而,包括Teamsters工会在内的立法者和工会组织认为,司机们穿着亚马逊品牌制服,驾驶亚马逊品牌货车,并遵循亚马逊设定的时间表。
This ruling might force Amazon to negotiate with employees aiming to unionize. The decision follows a similar ruling last month concerning Amazon drivers at a Palmdale, California facility.
这一裁决可能会迫使亚马逊与谋求组织工会的员工进行谈判。这一决定是在上个月关于亚特兰大设施的亚马逊司机的类似裁决之后做出的。
The Teamsters union has been intensifying its efforts to organize Amazon workers. In April 2023, drivers for Battle Tested Strategies claimed Amazon canceled their contract after they voted to unionize, which Amazon denied, according to the report.
Teamsters工会一直在加强组织亚马逊工人的努力。根据报告,2023年4月,战地考验策略的司机声称亚马逊在他们投票决定组织工会后取消了他们的合同,亚马逊对此予以否认。
The NLRB also found merit in allegations that Amazon threatened Atlanta drivers with site closure if they unionized, made coercive statements, and created an impression of surveillance.
NLRB还发现了亚马逊威胁亚特兰大司机关闭网站,如果他们组织工会的指控有事实性,对司机进行了严厉声明,并营造了监视的印象。
These determinations are preliminary steps in the NLRB's process. If not settled, a hearing with an NLRB judge will be scheduled, and decisions can be appealed to the NLRB board and federal court, according to the report.
这些决定是NLRB过程中的初步步骤。如果不能解决,将会安排与NLRB法官的听证会,并可以对决定提出上诉至NLRB委员会和联邦法院,根据报告。
Why It Matters: This ruling is part of a broader trend of increasing scrutiny of Amazon's labor practices. In June, around 15,800 Amazon Flex drivers initiated arbitration claims, alleging misclassification as independent contractors rather than employees.
为什么重要:这一裁决是对亚马逊劳工实践越来越严格审查的更广泛趋势的一部分。在6月份,大约15800名亚马逊弹性司机发起了仲裁索赔,称其被错误地划分为独立承包商而不是员工。
Earlier in April 2023, Amazon spent over $3 million on consultants to discourage unionization among its delivery network employees.
在2023年4月初,亚马逊花费超过300万美元的顾问资金,以阻止其物流员工组织工会。
In August, a federal labor regulator classified Amazon delivery drivers as employees, potentially increasing the company's responsibility for working conditions within its logistics network. The union described this as a "monumental determination."
在8月,一家联邦劳工监管机构将亚马逊送货员归类为雇员,可能会增加公司对其物流网络中工作条件的责任。工会将此描述为"具有里程碑意义的决定"。
Additionally, in September 2023, Amazon announced plans to increase wages for contracted drivers as part of a $440 million investment in its third-party delivery program.
此外,在2023年9月,亚马逊宣布计划提高合同司机的工资,作为其第三方物流计划的4400万美元投资的一部分。
