A National Movement To Organize Amazon Takes Off
The Teamsters are spinning off momentum from recent organizing fights to new battle fronts across Amazon’s logistics chain.
A group of 100 warehouse workers at DCK6, an Amazon delivery station in San Francisco, marched on company managers October 2 demanding voluntary recognition rather than filing for a National Labor Relations Board-supervised election.
In the Teamsters’ strategy to organize the logistics behemoth by a thousand cuts, this is the first time that warehouse workers—rather than delivery drivers nominally employed by a subcontractor—have demanded recognition.
