NLRB regional director rules Amazon a "joint employer" of Atlanta delivery drivers, potentially requiring negotiation if they unionize.

The NLRB regional director has ruled that Amazon is a "joint employer" of certain delivery drivers at its Atlanta facility, which could compel the company to negotiate if drivers choose to unionize. This decision follows a similar ruling in Palmdale, California. Amazon has contested this designation, asserting that the drivers are employees of third-party contractors. The ruling stems from unfair labor practice charges filed in January and may lead to further hearings.
