This arrogant company is about to feel the full power of its workers fighting back,” said Randy Korgan, Teamsters Amazon Division Director. “Teamsters have never been afraid to strike. Instead, Amazon has engaged in dozens of unfair labor practices in violation of federal labor law, including terminating the entire unit of newly organized workers. Despite the absolute control it wields over BTS and workers’ terms and conditions of employment, Amazon has refused to recognize and honor the Teamster contract. Shortly thereafter, the workers negotiated and ratified a union contract with BTS, the first agreement covering workers in Amazon’s massive delivery network. The workers organized with Teamsters Local 396 at Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP), Battle-Tested Strategies (BTS), in April. Now we are ready to strike again and do everything the law allows to make Amazon stop its federal labor law violations and to get what our families deserve.” “We went on an unfair labor practice strike last week and Amazon shut down the whole facility and continued to violate the law. “We refuse to allow Amazon to profit off our labor without taking any responsibility for our safety or well-being,” said Jesus Gutierrez, an Amazon driver. The strike will continue until Amazon remedies its unfair labor practices and recognizes and bargains with the Teamsters Union to address low pay and dangerous working conditions.
