Amazon’s fulfillment buildout gives big boost to target price: Mahaney<\/h2>\n

Evercore ISI senior managing director Mark Mahaney raises Amazon’s target price as the company ramps up new distribution capacity to accelerate same-day delivery.<\/p>\n

Amazon.com Inc and the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) said on Wednesday the company had reached a settlement with two former employees who alleged they were fired last year after they criticized the working conditions at the e-commerce giant's warehouses.<\/p>\n

Amazon had terminated the employment of Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, who had accused the company of enforcing policies in a discriminatory fashion and instituting rules that "chill and restrain" the staff from exercising rights, according to their charge filed in October.<\/p>\n

NLRB found in April that Amazon illegally fired them for advocating for better working conditions during the pandemic. <\/p>\n

The U.S. agency said the company had reached a non-Board settlement, whose terms were not disclosed, with the two former employees. A non-Board settlement is a private agreement between parties, where they agree to resolve cases by settlement rather than litigation.<\/p>\n

The NLRB Regional Director, however, is required to review and approve the private settlement agreement before allowing the charges to be withdrawn.<\/p>\n

"We have reached a mutual agreement that resolves the legal issues in this case and welcome the resolution of this matter," an Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n

CNBC first reported about the settlement.<\/p>\n

Cunningham and Costa gained prominence for pushing the e-commerce giant to do more on climate change, questioned Amazon's pandemic safety protocols, and worked to raise money for warehouse staff at risk of contracting COVID-19.<\/p>\n
