ROCKET MAN: Billionaire Jeff Bezos' Amazon.com Held 25 Mandatory Anti-Union Meetings Each Day In The Weeks Leading Up To The Staten Island Union Vote

STATEN ISLAND: Amazon held 25 mandatory anti-union meetings a day for employees at a warehouse on Staten Island, New York, in the six weeks before a union vote at the facility in March, according to testimony from an Amazon human-resources official at a federal hearing

The meeting schedule lasted from 8 a.m. until 4 a.m. the next day for six weeks and uUnions and a federal labor-relations board have challenged employers' use of such meetings.

The upstart Amazon Labor Union, led by the charismatic former Amazon worker Christian Smalls, won that vote by a convincing margin.

Amazon has contested the victory, alleging bias on the part of federal labor officials managing the vote and improper conduct by the union.

This Amazon.com mandatory anti-union meeting schedule disclosure  came on the third day of what observers expect to be weeks of testimony before a federal labor-relations official decides whether to rerun the election at that facility, called JFK8.
