Teamsters Strike Against Amazon Enters Second Day
CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On the second day of largest strike against Amazon in American history, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien will rally with striking Amazon Teamsters at the company’s DAX5 facility in the City of Industry on Friday, Dec. 20.
At facilities nationwide, Amazon has broken the law by refusing to recognize their unionized workers and bargain for a labor agreement. The e-commerce giant has failed to meet the Dec. 15 deadline set by the Teamsters to come to the table and negotiate a contract, forcing Amazon Teamsters to the picket-line the busy holiday season.
On the picket line, Amazon Teamsters are fighting for increased wages, improved benefits, and safer work conditions.
Thousands of Teamsters are also on strike at DBK4 in New York City; DGT8 in Atlanta; DFX4 and DAX8 in Southern California; DCK6 in San Francisco; and DIL7 in Skokie, Ill; and picketing hundreds more Amazon facilities nationwide.
