Amazon.com Inc. posted and abruptly deleted a job listing on its site for analysts to research “labor organizing threats against the company” and compile information that could be used to seek restraining orders against activists.
Labor activists said the posting suggests Amazon is trying to prevent workers from collective bargaining to improve their pay and working conditions. Amazon employs thousands of hourly warehouse workers who pack and ship orders, which has made it a target of union organizers.
