Amazon Workers Strike At Multiple Facilities As Teamsters Seek Labor Contract

2 days ago Workers at seven Amazon facilities are on strike. The Teamsters union said the workers joined picket lines on Thursday after Amazon ignored a Sunday deadline the union set for contract negotiations. The union called it the largest strike against the company in U.S. history. Amazon says it doesn't expect the labor action to impact its operations during the busy holiday shopping period. The strikes are taking place at seven delivery stations, which are run by contractors who drop off of packages to customers everyday. They include three locations in Southern California, and one each in New York City, Atlanta, Georgia, and Skokie, Illinois.
