The nationwide action follows Amazon\u2019s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon\u2019s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,\u201d said Teamsters General President Sean M. O\u2019Brien. \u201cThese greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they\u2019ve pushed workers to the limit and now they\u2019re paying the price. This strike is on them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Workers will join the picket line from DBK4 in New York City; DGT8 in Atlanta; DFX4, DAX5, and DAX8 in Southern California; DCK6 in San Francisco; and DIL7 in Skokie, Ill. Amazon Teamsters at other facilities are prepared to join them.<\/p>\n<p>Teamsters local unions are also putting up primary picket lines at hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers nationwide. Amazon warehouse workers and drivers without collective bargaining agreements have the legal right to honor these picket lines by withholding their labor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is historic,\u201d said Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker at DCK6 in San Francisco. \u201cWe are fighting against a vicious union-busting campaign, and we are going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fu7061146.ct.sendgrid.net%2Fls%2Fclick%3Fupn%3Du001.gqh-2BaxUzlo7XKIuSly0rC7N4SAC5AXVJOM9sP73-2FUijgK9wuEZp5yaqFQZHulguse0zh_vQxkeOAS-2Fve0OvOZD0yj1BQWAu7VOH9gcF5fQCsg3vO7-2Bs9wlTnBVj2JD-2F4s9tU8-2FzC1JAM5RgnkbCLbj0i187K34RHE8mAN473LWT8-2FlZ-2BJyisEtx0ngYeJHmftabDiFJbZY4cYjrJLEvJ1CBFwrJmVdsYDgGf-2FP1tgTdNWg5sMKpTTSN0GrKPrZJc7Z2wuLrLkiyicDh0c-2Bh29FtMZdHC0ipREEn9eJu3dDn7AUx61YTT3KYWaGBhj8D-2FxeWqlZu1Y6NfU8c0NW5oZByTvaaGRSEfDmeOqxYd7xwPVBx1TJy1-2BEshf7Pr8PTgmk7Qqw-2FODBz7ByphZQ-2F-2B3vcgDjA-3D-3D&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cdmoskowitz%40teamster.org%7Ca18cbbf982494ad7a98708dd1fc18688%7Ca97187cc27574a2985afe7a30e25fa17%7C0%7C0%7C638701638251699420%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=V%2B2XVXfi0Xnbm4wFD6PAA7bSMeZRHOdU0K3B3pn6K3E%3D&amp;reserved=0\"><u>Amazon is the second-largest corporation on the Fortune 500 list<\/u><\/a>.
