Workers at a company that delivered packages for Amazon are considered employees of the e-commerce giant, the National Labor Relations Board said, rejecting Amazon’s claim that it is not responsible for the subcontractor’s staff.

By Suhauna Hussain, Los Angeles TimesJohnathon Ervin, owner of Battle-Tested Strategies, a logistics company that delivers Amazon products, inspects a delivery vehicle that was grounded at their delivery parking lot on May 5, 2023, in Palmdale, California. Ervin has decided to voluntarily unionize the company and wonders if Amazon is retaliating against his company.

The delivery company, Battle-Tested Strategies, operated out of Amazon’s DAX8 fulfillment center in Palmdale, California. The company’s owner, Johnathon Ervin, voluntarily recognized the decision by drivers to organize and join a local chapter of the Teamsters union. Amazon ended the company’s contract last year, effectively terminating the jobs of the 84 drivers who delivered Amazon packages.

The NLRB did not find merit to all of the Teamsters’ allegations, however. It dismissed, for example, a claim that Amazon’s decision to end its contract with Battle-Tested Strategies was retaliatory.
