Amazon has reached a settlement with the National Labor Relations Board in six cases, helping to pave the way for workers to unionize as more seek a seat at the bargaining table.

The NLRB shared the settlement Thursday through a Freedom of Information Act request, stating that Amazon must post a notice to its relevant facilities for 60 days. The notice informs employees of their rights to seek collective action and says that Amazon will not"prevent you from exercising the above rights."

“Whether a company has 10 employees or a million employees, it must abide by the National Labor Relations Act,” NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, said in a statement. “This settlement agreement provides a crucial commitment from Amazon to millions of its workers across the United States that it will not interfere with their right to act collectively to improve their workplace by forming a union or taking other collective action.

They also promised, in writing, not to"call the police, when you are exercising your right to engage in union or protected concerted activities by talking to your co-workers in exterior nonwork areas during nonwork time."
