Teamsters strike Amazon
December 19, 2024
In December, the Teamsters launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. The nationwide action followed Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who’ve organized with the Teamsters, including Teamsters at San Francisco’s DCK6 Amazon warehouse who demanded union recognition last fall.
In addition to the picket line in San Francisco, Teamsters from every local union in Joint Council 7 participated in around-the-clock picket lines at 10 Amazon fulfillment centers throughout the Central Valley and Northern Nevada.
Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers have joined the Teamsters nationwide as part of a growing grassroots movement to secure strong union contracts and take control of their own lives. On the picket line, they are fighting for increased wages, improved benefits, and safer work conditions.
