Over 200 drivers at Amazon’s DBK1 facility in Woodside, Queens, have organized to join the Teamsters. The newest members of Local 804 marched on company management this morning to demand a Teamsters contract, becoming the latest to join nearly 10,000 Amazon workers who have organized with the Teamsters.
“Seeing hundreds of New York City Amazon workers strike last year was a wakeup call for us. If we want a better future at Amazon, we have to be willing to fight for it,” said José Huerta, a driver at the DBK1 facility. “After months of painstaking work, I’m proud to say that my co-workers and I are finally Teamsters.”
The Teamsters Union will organize Amazon—and workers will secure the rights, respect, wages, benefits, and job protections they’ve earned.
