Prosecutors at the National Labor Relations Board determined that Amazon qualifies as a joint employer of subcontracted drivers due to its substantial control over their working conditions.
Despite Amazon's reliance on third-party Delivery Service Partners, the Teamsters argue that Amazon's influence over delivery routes, targets, and performance monitoring justifies their classification as a joint employer.
The NLRB's investigation followed unfair labor-practice charges from the Teamsters, which sought to unionize Amazon drivers, asserting that Amazon unlawfully refused to negotiate a union contract.
NLRB findings included that Amazon threatened drivers unlawfully and failed to provide critical information to the Teamsters during their attempts to negotiate.
