 Oct. 7, 2024 | ORGANIZING | The Teamsters are spinning off momentum from recent organizing fights to new battle fronts across Amazon’s logistics chain. A group of 100 warehouse workers at DCK6, an Amazon delivery station in San Francisco, marched on company managers October 2 demanding voluntary recognition rather than filing for a National Labor Relations Board-supervised election. In the Teamsters’ strategy to organize the logistics behemoth by a thousand cuts, this is the first time that warehouse workers—rather than delivery drivers nominally employed by a subcontractor—have demanded recognition. …Amazon worker committees, Teamster-affiliated and independent, in St. Louis, the Inland Empire of Southern California, the Chicagoland area, Minneapolis, Garner in North Carolina, and Atlanta have been organizing for better pay, heat protections, safety on the job, and disability accommodations.
