More than 80 Union Teamster delivery drivers and dispatchers for Amazon staged a walkout at the company's Palmdale warehouse on Thursday.

The drivers and dispatchers joined the Teamsters in April, hoping it would lead to better pay, as well as improved and safer working conditions.

"These 84 drivers who are employed by Battle Tested Strategies, and drive for Amazon, are on an unfair labor practice strike to protest Amazon's dozens of violations of Federal Labor Law," said Shaun Martinez, a Teamster. The Teamsters said it's Amazon that's not budging on negotiating better pay and improved working conditions for the workers.
