Amazon-Arbeiter streiken in der geschäftigsten Zeit des Jahres an sieben US-Standorten

I do not agree with how Amazon treats its warehouse employees. However, the Teamsters are also an awful union and can’t execute for shit.

From the article:

Why it matters: It’s not just corporate employees leaving over the company’s aggressive return-to-office policy that Amazon has to worry about. Workers at seven of its facilities walked off the job this morning in what their union is calling the “largest strike” against Amazon in US history.

According to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents 10,000 workers at ten Amazon facilities, warehouse workers in cities including New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco are taking part in the strike.

The union had given Amazon a December 15 deadline to begin talks with employees, but the company has refused to negotiate contracts with unionized workers.

“If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,” Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien said in a statement.

“These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.”

Good for them.
