Amazon illegally fired workers who spoke out, labor board finds

Amazon illegally retaliated against two of its workers when it fired them after they publicly criticized the company's climate policies and supported workers protesting warehouse conditions, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found.

The NLRB found the allegations in the case had merit, and a regional director will issue a complaint if the case does not settle, according to the board.

The board's determination about the firing of Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa was first reported by The New York Times.

"It's a moral victory and really shows that we are on the right side of history and the right side of the law," Cunningham told the Times.
