A group of 84 Amazon delivery drivers, who work for an independent contractor in Palmdale, California, scored a win by organizing a union and joining the Teamsters. The victory did not last long, though. they secured a tentative agreement with their employer, Battle-Tested Strategies . BTS is what's known as an Amazon Delivery Service Partner, or DSP.
To that end, the workers protested on Monday outside the Amazon delivery logistics warehouse where they operate, but their arguments fell on deaf ears. "Whether the Teamsters are being intentionally misleading or they just don't understand our business, the narrative they're spreading is false. This group of individuals do not work for Amazon. Our delivery network is made up of thousands of independently owned and operated small businesses who provide delivery services for our company," said Eileen Hards, an Amazon spokesperson.
