I know we'd all expected this outcome, but it's official now.
"The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has found Amazon illegally retaliated against two of its most outspoken internal critics when it fired them last year.
Last April, Amazon fired Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, two former user experience designers, for “repeatedly violating internal policies.” Cunningham and Costa argued they were fired in retaliation for their continued criticism of Amazon.
The NLRB confirmed to CNBC that it found merit to Cunningham and Costa’s unfair labor practice complaint, which was filed last October. The agency added that it would file a complaint against Amazon unless it settles the case. News of the NLRB’s decision was first reported by The New York Times.
Representatives from Amazon didn’t return a request for comment."
