Teamsters announces national push to unionize Amazon
SHARE
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters said it passed a resolution today to focus on unionizing Amazon across the U.S.
In April this year, workers at Amazon’s fulfillment center in Bessemer, Alabama, chose not to unionize in what was called a historic union election. If that had gone the other way, it would have been the first Amazon warehouse to unionize, likely causing others to follow.
For a long time, reports have surfaced criticizing Amazon for various issues from safety to how it deals with workers who have complained about working conditions. Recent safety reports didn’t look good for the company, although it seems Amazon has been addressing the issue.
