Teamsters begin 'largest strike' against Amazon, accusing company of 'insatiable greed'

Summary

The Teamsters launched the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history on Thursday, targeting facilities nationwide, including in New York, Atlanta, and California.

The union accuses Amazon of refusing to negotiate with unionized workers and blames the company’s “insatiable greed” for stalled talks.

Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers have joined the Teamsters, but Amazon disputes this, alleging the union has coerced workers and misled the public.

The strike escalates tensions as the National Labor Relations Board has certified some union efforts, which Amazon continues to challenge.
