Overview
- U.S. District Judge Eric Komitee issued the preliminary injunction on Wednesday in the Eastern District of New York.
- The order blocks enforcement of New York’s temporary statute that empowered the state’s PERB to adjudicate private‑sector labor disputes.
- PERB is barred from acting on the Amazon Labor Union complaint over the firing of Brima Sylla at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island.
- The court said Amazon is likely to succeed on its federal preemption claim and cautioned that state interventions risk conflicting or duplicative rulings.
- The broader challenges continue in federal court, including NLRB lawsuits contesting similar measures in New York and California.
