Thousands of Amazon workers, represented by the Teamsters union, have gone on strike in what the union calls the largest strike against the company in American history.

Thousands of Amazon workers organized under the Teamsters union went on strike at 6 a.m. Thursday after the company's repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain.

Thousands of Amazon Workers Join Largest U.S. Strike Against CompanyThousands 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.
