Amazon settles Teamsters case alleging it retaliated against striking workers

Amazon reached a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board over charges by the Teamsters and employees alleging retaliation (specifically docking unpaid time off) after walkouts. The agreement removes an active regulatory dispute and likely limits the risk of prolonged litigation or additional penalties, implying modest reputational and operational implications but minimal near-term market impact.
