(Reuters) - A U.S. retail workers' union on Tuesday accused Amazon.com Inc of unlawfully interfering with a union election at an Alabama warehouse where the company had already been found to have engaged in unlawful conduct to deter labor organizing.

The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) claiming Amazon removed union literature from employee breakrooms, limited workers' access to the warehouse before and after shifts and forced workers to attend anti-union meetings.
