Amazon US worker says company hung anti-union signs in bathroom stalls

When Amazon found out that its workers were trying to form a union, the company put up signs across the warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, including in bathroom stalls, a worker said.

No place was off limits, said warehouse employee Jennifer Bates, who testified at a Washington hearing on income inequality.

Bates, who supports the unionising effort, described on Wednesday how Amazon is pushing back against the biggest unionisation efforts at the company since its founding as an online bookstore in 1995.

Besides signs, she said Amazon sends messages to workers’ phones and forces employees to attend meetings a couple of times a week that can go on for nearly an hour.
