The National Labor Relations Board has sided with a union complaint by Teamsters, accusing Amazon of violating the National Labor Relations Act by refusing to bargain with the union representing some of its delivery drivers.

In its complaint, the federal board ordered Amazon to respond to the Teamsters complaint, alleging that Amazon is a joint employer of its drivers and has a legal duty to recognize and bargain with the Teamsters Union who represents them.
