“Shocking Discovery: Amazon Driver’s Festive Sabotage Uncovered in Woods – Is It Justified by ‘Stress’?”
The walkouts, which include picketing in locations like New York City‘s Queens and Staten Island, were organized in response to Amazon ignoring a union-imposed deadline.
Moreover, the Teamsters said the workers were striking because Amazon didn’t pay attention to a deadline they set for a new work deal on December 15, CBS News reported on Thursday.

The Teamsters, representing nearly 10,000 workers at 10 Amazon facilities, claimed the strike was the largest against the company in US history, with workers in multiple states—including California, Illinois, and Georgia—joining in solidarity.
“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 said in a statement.
He added: “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed.”
The packages were consequently returned to Amazon with no criminal charges pursued
“We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it.”
Meanwhile, Amazon reportedly said the delivery drivers, which the Teamsters have organized for more than a year, aren’t its employees.

Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement: “For more than a year now, the Teamsters have continued to intentionally mislead the public — claiming that they represent ‘thousands of Amazon employees and drivers.’
