Amazon Is Boss of Subcontracted Drivers, Labor Board Prosecutors Say | Board’s prosecutors say that company violated labor law
Amazon.com Inc. was legally the boss of a group of subcontracted delivery drivers, US labor board prosecutors have concluded, rejecting the company’s claims that workers in its sprawling delivery network aren’t its employees.
I'll note that the NLRB is appointed by the President; this kind of outcome is only possible because we've had a Democratic president the past few years.
It honestly didn't occur to me that the people walking around in Amazon branded shirts driving Amazon branded trucks as part of the Amazon delivery fleet could be legally considered not employees at Amazon.
With enough legislation and rulings like this, we might begin to slightly unbreak this terrible system.
You may be surprised but the same applies to FedEx drivers too. Most of them
The fact that we still have a Democratic president is why we still have an NLRB at all.
And it will be swiftly reversed by a Republican, should one get in office.
The Republican party should die with Trump's failed campaign... we'll always have conservatives but that role could easily be played by the democratic party which would oppose a more liberal branch party. Republicans have moved so far into conspiracy theories that their core party platforms are not relevant to reasonable policy discussions.
Which is why Americans should prevent that.
Wouldn't it be great if they applied civil forfeiture to the board of directors of the company seeing as their compensation was involved with illegal activity? No new laws needed.
