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.
美國國家勞工關係委員會已經確定亞馬遜公司(NASDAQ:AMZN) 是一些簽約送貨司機的"共同僱主"。
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.
大約發生了什麼事情:NLRB的區域型董事審核了一月份關於亞馬遜對亞特蘭大倉庫(DAT6)司機待遇的兩項違法工會活動指控。這些司機是來自一家名爲MJb物流的承包商的,據CNBC報道。
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.
亞馬遜一直抗拒被貼上其承包送貨公司聯合僱主的標籤。然而,包括Teamsters工會在內的立法者和工會組織認爲,司機們穿着亞馬遜品牌制服,駕駛亞馬遜品牌貨車,並遵循亞馬遜設定的時間表。
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.
這一裁決可能會迫使亞馬遜與謀求組織工會的員工進行談判。這一決定是在上個月關於亞特蘭大設施的亞馬遜司機的類似裁決之後做出的。
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工會一直在加強組織亞馬遜工人的努力。根據報告,2023年4月,戰地考驗策略的司機聲稱亞馬遜在他們投票決定組織工會後取消了他們的合同,亞馬遜對此予以否認。
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還發現了亞馬遜威脅亞特蘭大司機關閉網站,如果他們組織工會的指控有事實性,對司機進行了嚴厲聲明,並營造了監視的印象。
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.
這些決定是NLRB過程中的初步步驟。如果不能解決,將會安排與NLRB法官的聽證會,並可以對決定提出上訴至NLRB委員會和聯邦法院,根據報告。
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.
爲什麼重要:這一裁決是對亞馬遜勞工實踐越來越嚴格審查的更廣泛趨勢的一部分。在6月份,大約15800名亞馬遜彈性司機發起了仲裁索賠,稱其被錯誤地劃分爲獨立承包商而不是員工。
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,亞馬遜花費超過300萬美元的顧問資金,以阻止其物流員工組織工會。
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,一家聯邦勞工監管機構將亞馬遜送貨員歸類爲僱員,可能會增加公司對其物流網絡中工作條件的責任。工會將此描述爲"具有里程碑意義的決定"。
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,亞馬遜宣佈計劃提高合同司機的工資,作爲其第三方物流計劃的4400萬美元投資的一部分。
