> Previously, Costa said Amazon attempted to intervene in the group’s efforts to organize the panel by deleting invitations sent to other workers internally, which the group claims were accepted by more than 1,500 employees.

It’s Amazon’s internal network, and Amazon’s email system, so they have the full right to control what happens on their resources.

At the same time, I find that deleting the an email after it has been sent by the sender unknown to the sender to be a kind of gaslighting, and dystopian. Having a policy to not organize using work resources might be harsh, but at least it is more transparent as in the proverbial line is drawn in the proverbial sand.

No, actually, none of that is true under US labor law. People can organize at their workplaces. It’s a protected action.

You can organize at your workplace, but you don't have a right to use work resources to do it. (Workers used to have the right to use their work email, but the NLRB has recently overturned that precedent.)

There's also stipulations on when and where you can organize at your workplace. For example, putting up noticed about a union meeting on the bulletin board in the breakroom is allowed, but you can't put that same notice on a factory floor. You also can talk about organizing at work, but only if it's outside of work hours (you can't be on the clock and using that time to talk about organizing).
