Abstract

Hundreds of contract-delivery drivers at an Amazon warehouse in New York City are organizing with the Teamsters union to demand better wages and working conditions. The drivers, employed by three Amazon delivery contractors, have asked the company to recognize their union and begin contract negotiations. The Teamsters' effort to unionize Amazon workers is part of a larger strategy to establish that Amazon and its contractors are effectively employers of the drivers. Amazon has recently announced plans to invest an additional $2.1 billion in its contract delivery program, including wage increases for workers. [Extracted from the article]
