Amazon has to comply with the U.S. Department of Labor's demands for data on travel reimbursements paid to supervisors sent to New York to dissuade warehouse workers from unionizing, a Ninth Circuit panel said on Thursday, concluding the information is germane to an agency probe of potential reporting violations.
The Fifth Circuit's decision upholding injunctions against three National Labor Relations Board prosecutions after finding the agency's structure is likely unconstitutional will open an avenue for employers to fend off agency proceedings, experts said, but with the U.S. Supreme Court expected to weigh in, its impact could be short-lived.
Federal agencies are stripping their workers of labor rights after courts provisionally blessed an executive order excusing the agencies from bargaining in the name of national security, though much remains to resolve in a growing pile of union challenges to the president's order.
