Amazon.com Inc violated US federal labour law by threatening, interrogating and surveiling employees at a New York warehouse where workers are trying to unionise, US labour board prosecutors alleged in a complaint issued Thursday.

The US National Labor Relations Board complaint seeks remedies including an order requiring mandatory training of Amazon managers and consultants, as well as requiring management to read a notice to employees about their rights with an NLRB agent present.
