Amazon Teamsters approve strikes at 2 NYC facilities

EPA-EFE/ERIK S. LESSER

Amazon Teamsters at two major warehouses, JFK8 and DBK4, in New York City on Friday voted to authorize strikes after the company refused to recognize their union and negotiate a contract.

"Amazon is pushing its workers closer to the picket line by failing to show them the respect they have earned," Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien commented. "We've been clear: Amazon has until December 15 to come to the table and bargain for a contract. If these white-collar criminals want to keep breaking the law, they better get ready for a fight," he added.

Amazon employees at 10 sites across the country have organized with the Teamsters, while the company has continuously neglected its legal obligation to negotiate with its unionized workers.
