It blocked union organizing efforts by technicians in 2014, and more recently it defended the company against workers\u2019 lawsuits over inadequate COVID-19 safety and charges of discrimination filed by pro-Black Lives Matter workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon\u2019s anti-union propaganda and efforts to delay the Bessemer union vote, manipulate the bargaining unit and appeal the NLRB ruling supporting a mail-in union election come straight from the Morgan Lewis playbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan Lewis has had over six decades to hone its union-busting skills.
