> 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.

I would guess that Costa means the invitations had an associated calendar entry and they deleted the calendar entry. Deleting emails would definitely be pretty creepy, but I don't know if I've ever heard of that happening.

Deleting email messages is 100% a thing. I saw it happen myself (and confirmed with coworkers) at one unicorn I worked at.
