Amazon.com Inc. Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy violated federal labor laws when he said in television interviews earlier this year that company workers would make greater gains without union representation, a National Labor Relations Board official alleged in a complaint.

The complaint against Jassy highlights statements he made in an April interview with CNBC and a June interview on Bloomberg Television. In the Bloomberg interview, Jassy said Amazon workers would be better off without a union, which would make it more difficult for employees to have a direct relationship with management.
