Amazon Contract-Delivery Drivers at DBK4 in Queens Join Teamsters Union, Demand Recognition

Sep 16, 2024, 02:24 PM

Hundreds of Amazon contract-delivery drivers at the DBK4 facility in Queens, New York, have joined the Teamsters union. The drivers are demanding that Amazon recognize their union and negotiate a contract to address concerns over wages and working conditions. This move follows the National Labor Relations Board's ruling that Amazon is a joint employer for delivery service providers. The unionization effort, which includes the first set of union cards signed at delivery service providers, marks a significant development in labor relations for Amazon, which has faced criticism over the stress it places on delivery drivers.
