Teamsters strike against Amazon beginning
The Teamsters union says workers at seven facilities will walk off the job Thursday morning. It's an attempt to pressure the e-commerce giant for a labor agreement during the key holiday shopping period.

Amazon contractors go on strike. Volume is diverted to UPS Teamsters.
Merry Christmas to all those affected.

Are UPS Teamsters different from the rest of the Teamsters?
Hint……this is a loaded question.

Hopefully none of our feeder driver, brothers, and sisters are picking up those loads from facilities that have set up strike lines.
Lead by example

Scab Semi contractors will deliver the loads to the building.
Ftr, I am happy Amazon drivers are unionized. The more they make the more we can demand.

Yep, unfortunately not much We can do about that but make it as difficult as possible. we have a long way to go before Amazon drivers are unionized completely. there’s some sporadic unionization, but most of the country is not.

Few of them look at Amazon as a long time career

The gig work, and the transient nature of Amazon workers makes it very difficult. Just about the time you get everyone to sign cards and vote for Union representation they quit and your forced to start all over again.

You should join him.
After all, don’t you preach self-sacrifice for everyone getting a few more bucks?

I'm sure Amazon already diverted their volume from those facilities, or they wouldn't have let a strike happen.
This is the problem with only unionizing a few buildings.

That’s what we need. This is for the future folks. The beast is where it starts. Don’t order from them. If you don’t you won’t get any respect your done.

Stop being weak minded. Make a stand. Go to the store and get your crap.
So you have an Amazon shopping cart but you just never put anything in it?
Well if everyone did that we wouldn't have a job

There lies the problem. Greed has us holding a sharp instrument with no gloves.
