Teamsters general president, Sean O'Brien, emphasized the stakes, stating, "These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they've pushed workers to the limit and now they're paying the price. This strike is on them."
The Teamsters declared the walkout as "the largest strike against Amazon in US history," highlighting the scale of discontent among warehouse workers and the urgency of their demands.
Amazon's spokesperson downplayed the situation stating, "unions represent only about 1 percent of the workforce of Amazon" and downplayed any potential impact on deliveries.
The Teamsters are pushing back against Amazon's union-busting tactics, stating that they are demanding higher wages and better working conditions as essential rights for workers.
