Teamsters Strike Against Amazon Threatens Holiday Deliveries

Thousands of workers demand better wages, benefits, and working conditions as Amazon disputes union representation claims.

Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers affiliated with the Teamsters union have launched the largest strike against the company in U.S. history, targeting seven major facilities across the country.
The strike, timed during the holiday shopping rush, aims to pressure Amazon to negotiate on issues like higher pay, improved benefits, and safer working conditions.
Amazon denies the legitimacy of the strike, claiming the Teamsters do not represent its employees and accusing the union of using coercive tactics, which the Teamsters dispute.
Despite the strike, Amazon insists its operations remain unaffected, citing its extensive logistics network and partnerships with third-party delivery services like USPS and UPS.
The strike highlights ongoing tensions between Amazon and labor groups, with workers accusing the company of exploiting them while Amazon challenges unionization efforts in court.
