Amazon,Labor Strike,Teamsters

Thousands of Amazon warehouse and delivery workers are joining the largest strike against the company in U.S. history, organized by the Teamsters union. The strike follows Amazon's failure to meet a December 15th deadline for contract negotiations. While Amazon claims the strike won't impact operations, workers at facilities in California, New York, Georgia, and Illinois are picketing. The Teamsters represent nearly 10,000 Amazon workers, a fraction of the company's 1.5 million employees. This strike is a culmination of ongoing labor disputes, including Amazon's challenge to the union victory at a Staten Island warehouse in 2022.

The Teamsters say the workers, who authorized strikes in the past few days, are joining the picket line after Amazon ignored a Dec. 15 deadline the union set for contract negotiations. Amazon says it doesn’t expect an impact on its operations during what the union calls the largest strike against the company in U.S. history.

The strikes happening Thursday are taking place at one Amazon warehouse in San Francisco, California, and six delivery stations in southern California, New York City; Atlanta, Georgia, and Skokie, Illinois, according to the union’s announcement. Amazon workers at the other facilities are “prepared to join,” the union said.
