NLRB Rules Amazon Must Bargain with 280,000 Drivers, Boosting Teamsters
Aug 22, 2024, 04:59 PM
In a landmark decision, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled that Amazon is a joint employer of its delivery drivers, who were previously classified as contractors. This ruling mandates that Amazon must recognize and bargain with the drivers, paving the way for approximately 280,000 drivers to unionize. The decision stems from efforts by Teamsters Local 396 in Palmdale, California, who have been advocating for Amazon drivers to be recognized as employees. This victory for the Teamsters marks a significant step in labor rights, challenging Amazon's longstanding classification of its delivery drivers as independent contractors.
