CEO Andy Jassy violated federal labor laws when he remarked in recent interviews that employees could be negatively affected by unions, a federal labor agency said.

In a complaint late Wednesday, the National Labor Relations Board pointed to comments Jassy made in an April interview with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin on “Squawk Box” and a June interview at the Bloomberg Tech Summit.

Jassy told CNBC that if employees were to vote in a union, they may be less empowered in the workplace and things would become “much slower” and “more bureaucratic.”

“I also think people are better off having direct connections with their managers,” Jassy said. “You know, you think about work differently. You have relationships that are different.”

Managers know they can't get away with any draconian behavior they can dream up.

Employees don't feel like they are powerless and getting screwed every day on the job, and if they do think they are getting screwed, they can go to the union to try to work it out.

It's a win-win for all involved IF labor and management act sincerely to cooperate.
