Amazon drivers went on strike in four states across the country with less than a week to go before Christmas – but the company is saying it’s not going to affect your holiday deliveries. Members of the Teamsters union are striking at seven facilities across four states, and even though the Teamsters claim to represent 7,000 Amazon workers nationwide, that accounts for less than 1% of the company’s US workforce.
At the locations on strike and set to strike Thursday, the union claims to represent drivers who work for an Amazon contractor. The union claims that under a rule announced by the NLRB they can be considered to have joint employers — both the delivery service and Amazon. But Amazon and other business groups are challenging that rule. Brooks and Cianciotto mocked the idea that they’re not Amazon employees, even though their immediate employer is a third-party contractor.
