What are the legal implications for Amazon from these revelations? I already know it's illegal to discourage union activity, but I'm curious about how this evidence affects the situation.

A civil suit from Smalls, maybe.

All of this evidence would have been found as part of discovery if there would have been real litigation, anyway, so I doubt it's going to be particularly painful for Amazon.

If admissible, this may be evidence in a wider case for a labor law violation. The NY Atty General was notably unhappy about what had transpired: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/31/824423595/new-york-attorney-g...

...Until events unfold more, we cannot speculate as to the charges (if any) will be brought against Amazon.

NYAG also called for NLRB to weigh in, which isn't going to happen. They've been offlined at the worst time.
