Managers had confronted employees as they handed out union materials in a parking lot outside the building, checking the same workers’ identification multiple times and alleging that tables set up in the entrance pathway amounted to insubordination, a serious charge that could lead to termination, according to worker testimony and video reviewed by ABC News.

The tables violated company policy because they obstructed people entering and exiting the facility, Amazon managers told the workers, the video shows. The workers objected to the claim, saying that their efforts qualified as union activity protected by federal labor law.

Workers kept tabling in support of the union on this occasion and others. Within two weeks, 11 workers had received write-ups telling them that they could lose their jobs if they didn’t stop.

Companies who flagrantly ignore and/or break the law should be fined an amount that equals their net income for that time period … cause that’s the only thing they’ll pay attention to.
