Amazon workers strike at multiple facilities as Teamsters seek labor contract

Workers at seven Amazon facilities went on strike to pressure Amazon for a labor agreement.

The Teamsters claim Amazon controls delivery drivers' actions, and they should be classified as employees.

Amazon has filed a lawsuit challenging the union's victory at the Staten Island warehouse.

Amazon disputes the Teamsters' claim, stating that delivery drivers are not employees.

Strikes are happening in multiple cities including San Francisco and Southern California.

Workers at Staten Island’s warehouse voted for unionization in 2022.

The strike involves 10,000 Teamster-represented workers at Amazon.
