> 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.

Obama's NLRB disagreed with you. Trump's NLRB overturned their previous decision and agreed with your take. This will continue to go back-and forth as control of NLRB changes.

I personally think email is equivalent to an office bulletin board. What NLRB has said about that is you simply can't be DISCRIMINATORY on non-work issues. So if you can post on a bulletin board about sponsoring you in a Charity Fun Run, then you can post about union activity. If the employer only allows work-related things, then it's fine for them to not allow union activity.
