Summary
NLRB regional director determined Amazon should be considered "joint employer" of some delivery drivers at Atlanta facility, potentially forcing the company to come to the bargaining table if drivers opt to unionize. This decision follows a similar ruling in Palmdale, California, and could have implications for Amazon's relationship with contracted delivery companies. Labor groups, including the Teamsters union, have been pushing for unionization efforts among Amazon workers.
