NEW YORK (Reuters) -A federal judge on Wednesday granted Amazon.com a preliminary injunction to block the New York State Public Employment Relations Board from enforcing a new state law that the online retailer considers an attempt to illegally regulate private-sector labor relations.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Eric Komitee in Brooklyn was the first test of a state law allowing the employment agency to hear private-sector labor cases while its federal counterpart, the National Labor Relations Board, lacked the necessary quorum to make rulings.
