The emails surfaced today as part of the NLRB's probe into Amazon's union-busting.

USPS ultimately installed the mailbox for Amazon.
Amazon then put a tent with campaign messaging around the box and encouraged workers to use it to cast ballots right after captive anti-union meetings.
USPS says they didn't know about the tent until seeing it in the newspaper.
