THE HR BREAKDOWN

Teamsters give Amazon a deadline to agree to bargaining dates

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has said it is giving Amazon a deadline of December 15 to agree to bargaining dates to negotiate a union contract for its delivery drivers and warehouse workers. The Teamsters, one of America’s largest labor unions, has accused Amazon of breaking the law and said it must commit to come to the table and bargain a contract with its workers. “Amazon has a legal obligation to recognize the Teamsters and to start negotiating,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This is another attempt to push a false narrative about the independent small businesses who deliver on our behalf,” Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards said.
