Summary

Amazon workers at its first unionized warehouse in Staten Island, NY, have authorized a strike, accusing the company of refusing to recognize their union or negotiate a contract nearly three years after their union victory.

Represented by the Teamsters, 5,500 workers demand contract negotiations by Sunday, warning of a potential work stoppage.

Amazon, which has appealed the union certification, claims the Teamsters have coerced workers, accusations the union denies.

Workers seek $30/hour minimum pay and stronger safety protections.

A second Amazon facility in Queens has also authorized a strike.

Can Amazon weather this by fulfilling orders from other warehouses, till the new anti-labor NLRB is in place?

Is this why the previous leader wanted to organize other warehouses before striking?
