Teamsters Launch Major Amazon Strike Before Christmas

A significant strike was launched by the Teamsters union at seven Amazon facilities across the U.S., coinciding with the peak holiday shopping season. The strike was initiated after Amazon failed to respond to a December 15 negotiation deadline set by the union, which now represents about 10,000 workers at ten facilities. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien criticized Amazon for its refusal to negotiate, attributing potential delivery delays during the holidays to the company's 'insatiable greed.' The action is seen as the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history and highlights ongoing disputes over labor rights and management practices. In addition to American strikes, workers in Germany also protested for better working conditions. This movement marks a notable shift in Trump's relationship with unions, as he signals support for workers amidst this labor action.
