Amazon has claimed that New York union organizers handed out marijuana to workers in a bid to secure unionization votes.
The objection was one of several made by the ecommerce giant Friday as it seeks to overturn a vote that created the first union in the company's history.
On April 1, the National Labor Relations Board said a majority of workers at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York, had voted to join the Amazon Labor Union (ALU). Amazon is challenging the vote and has claimed that the ALU and the NLRB suppressed voter turnout.
In a filing Friday, Amazon questioned the methods used by the ALU to win unionization votes, according to multiple reports. Insider was unable to obtain the filing.
