Amazon Labor Union IBT

A worker-led movement to put power back in the hands of Amazon employees and establish our right to negotiate for a better, safer, and more equitable workplace.

[Amazon Labor Union IBT @amazonlabor]

We're fighting to make Amazon recognize our union, & as a result of our win, they’re in federal court arguing unions are unconstitutional.

If they win, a century of worker rights could be undone. Public support is vital to keep up the fight—can you help?

And just like that, it's Amazon Prime Day.

It’s Amazon’s Big Deal Prime Day, which means the $3 trillion company will be making billions of dollars in sales this week.

But how much of the profits are going to the workers who run Amazon?

We asked @amazonteamsters how they are fighting for higher wages:

Amazon delivers danger.

Amazon amassed over 14,000 safety violations since 2020, including thousands of citations for speeding in school zones, blocking fire hydrants, running red lights, and more.

Thank you to @DMJulieSu and @NYCOSH for inviting Amazon workers to sit at the table to talk about how extreme heat impacts our work and to @32BJSEIU for being host to this very important roundtable!

[32BJ SEIU /// #BuildingJustice 🧹✊🏽 @32BJSEIU]

THREAD: From ramp agents moving heavy cargo in the boiling belly of a plane to cafeteria workers toiling over a hot stove, extreme heat is a real threat.

Grateful @DMJulieSu joined frontline workers to discuss heat and what they need to stay safe and healthy on the job. /1

“Amazon itself is such a large corporation, but it has such little responsibility for the harm it actually causes,” said @MooreProgress

We have majority of City Council co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act. @NYCCouncil: Put the bill to a vote!

[Teamsters @Teamsters]

BREAKING: A new report released by the Teamsters and our allies shows that Amazon is the leading violator of New York's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires large employers to give workers advanced notice of termination or closures.

From 2023-2025, at least 25% of New York workers laid off in the transportation and warehouse industry worked for Amazon. During those years, over 1,000 workers were fired without the legally required notice from Amazon.

Despite claiming to be a "job creator,” Amazon is verifiably the biggest threat to good jobs in America. The Teamsters will not let Amazon continue destroying the workers responsible for its trillions in profit.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Have you seen ads recently from "small businesses" opposed to a bill to protect Amazon drivers? Turns out Amazon paid for all of it.

The City Council can stand up to this corporate bully trying to manipulate our city. It's time to pass the Delivery Protection Act!

[ALIGN @ALIGNny]

Amazon is spending millions pretending to be a small business coalition to oppose the Delivery Protection Act.

This dark money is a threat to our democracy.

[David Dayen @ddayen]

Yesterday Mayor Mamdani endorsed a bill to force Amazon to employ its own delivery drivers, rather than outsource the work to subcontractors. The Prospect can report that Amazon's lead lobbyist on that bill is Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica.

🪧✊Today we joined hundreds of New Yorkers to picket for the Delivery Protection Act!

Our communities are showing that Amazon can’t hide behind fake small businesses and avoid accountability.

This bill has the momentum and the people power.
LET'S FIGHT FOR IT! 🔥

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

This week, Amazon Teamsters and our allies rallied at Teamsters Local 282 to demand the New York City Council pass the Delivery Protection Act.

We were honored to be joined by Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien, General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, Amazon Division Director Randy Korgan, and New York City elected officials as we demand accountability at Amazon.

Thank you to everyone who attended our rally! Amazon may have the money, BUT WE HAVE THE PEOPLE!!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Amazon made more than $92 billion in the first half of this year but uses legal loopholes to deny workers their constitutional right to a union.

I applaud @NYCMayor for supporting legislation holding Amazon accountable for this corporate greed & protecting its drivers.

[Sally Goldenberg @SallyGold]

“If the legislation passes and Mr. Mamdani signs it, NY could become the first city in the United States to regulate these last-mile operations, according to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which has been lobbying for the bill.”

Amazon wants the privilege of doing business in the greatest city in the world while exploiting workers and violating federal labor law every damn day.

Business as usual? Not anymore. It’s time to hold Amazon accountable.

Pass the Delivery Protection Act. 📦✊

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.

I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

🚨MAJOR NEWS ALERT🚨

Thank you @NYCMayor for supporting the Delivery Protection Act!

Together, we will bring safety to our streets and dignity to thousands of Amazon workers in New York City.

It’s time for the @NYCCouncil to pass the Delivery Protection Act!
