Amazon’s Firing of 2 Critics Was lllegal, Rules National Labor Board By Aakriti Bhalla and Jeffrey Dastin | April 6, 2021
Amazon.com Inc. illegally fired two employees who advocated for better working conditions during the pandemic, the U.S. National Labor Relations Board has found.
The online retailer last year terminated the employment of Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, who accused the company of enforcing policies in a discriminatory fashion and having vague rules that “chill and restrain” staff from exercising rights, according to their charge filed in October, seen by Reuters.
The board said on Monday that its regional director in Seattle will issue a complaint if the parties do not settle the case.
Online grocery shopping quadruples since 2017 Kroger CEO says no one has the ‘data and insights’ that it has
Kroger is coming off a record year. The grocer grew its same-store sales, excluding fuel, by 14.1 percent last year, aided by a 116 percent jump in online sales. Kroger’s growing private label business was up 13.6 percent during a year when it posted an operating profit of $2.8 billion. The supermarket giant also found alternative revenue streams, notably through its retail media program, which delivered $150 million in operating profit. CEO Rodney McMullen believes that the retailer’s data and insights enable it to outperform its rivals. “Many retailers have transactional data, but no one has the customer data and the insights that Kroger has,” he said on the company’s third quarter earnings call in December.
