Amazon Drivers in Queens Join Teamsters Union

Hundreds of delivery drivers at three DSPs demand better wages, working conditions, and union recognition from Amazon.

Amazon drivers from three Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) in Queens, New York have signed union authorization cards to join the Teamsters.
Drivers are seeking improved wages, consistent schedules, reasonable workloads, and properly maintained delivery trucks.
The National Labor Relations Board has recently ruled Amazon a 'joint employer,' which could compel the company to negotiate with the union.
Amazon has faced increasing labor pressure, including walkouts and strikes, with similar union efforts in California and Illinois.
In response to mounting organizing efforts, Amazon announced a $2.1 billion investment in its DSP program, including wage increases for drivers.
