Amazon combined our two 15 minute breaks, meaning we have to do this grueling job for 4+ hours without a rest. People at SWF1 are getting hurt. 30 of us marched on management to deliver a petition from 200 coworkers demanding that Amazon put our safety ahead of their profits.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Amazon says we will be fired if we don’t “represent Amazon properly”, but then says we don’t even work for them. Make it make sense!

Everyone knows it’s Amazon who sets our routes, who spies on us at work, and who has ultimate control over our employment.

We ARE Amazon Teamsters, and we demand Amazon stop lying to the public and come to the table to bargain a fair contract.

Amazon requires its contract drivers be “neat and clean", including “prevention of unpleasant breath or body odor, modest perfume/cologne, & clean teeth, face/ears, fingernails & hair.” It says each driver "represents Amazon to our customers," records show https://t.co/1Bt8C4keHn

Amazon told prospective "delivery service partners" - vendors it hires to haul packages - to be careful what they call their company, because “Amazon may require you to change” any name it finds offensive or too close to its own lingo—like the word “Smile” https://t.co/Yx0T051QNN

Small business owner who was part of Amazon's delivery vendor army says the experience was like being absorbed in the Borg: "Resistance is futile."

Amazon says that former "delivery service partner" acted "like George Costanza." https://t.co/6VlTDEDPo3

🚨MUST READ ARTICLE🚨

Anyone who believes the fiction that Amazon isn’t in control of AMAZON DRIVERS is either a fool, paid off, or both.

New York City Council must pass the Delivery Protection Act and hold these exploitative EMPLOYERS accountable

New @BW feature: A landmark case was unearthing new revelations about Amazon's intimate, intensive regulation of drivers it claims aren't its employees. Then Trump put Amazon's former lawyer in charge https://t.co/WhkEoRk0JF

UPS workers get what they deserve because they have a union. Us workers at Amazon should be fighting for what we deserve too! With our union siblings to back us up, we can get a contract that gives us higher pay, pension, and a better future for our families. It doesn't have to be a dream, it can be reality if we stand up and fight together!

@jfk8obpa You mean if amazon cant exploit DSPs they will use union drivers with better pay and benefits? Sounds like a great deal for New Yorkers!

[Teamsters Local 804 @804_local]

Amazon claims it will stop delivering in New York City if they have to take responsibility for AMAZON DRIVERS

Obviously, they are lying

What will Amazon do instead of delivering in NYC? Take up pickleball? backpack in Europe?

Stop the bs & Pass the DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT!!

[Teamsters Local 804 @804_local]

Amazon paid up for past traffic violations by AMAZON DRIVERS IN AMAZON TRUCKS

But Amazon continues to hide behind its bullshit dsp model to avoid future accountability

New York needs to pass the Delivery Protection Act and bring this white collar crime syndicate to heel!!

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Amazon doesn’t care about everyday New Yorkers, whether you’re working for them or ordering your packages from them.

Instead, Amazon hides behind shell companies to avoid accountability.

The Delivery Protection Act is the best way to rein in Amazon’s neglect for New York City communities!

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust. 

We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else. 

No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.

For the first time in recent history, we have labor reform legislation — the Faster Labor Contracts Act — that is both bipartisan and bicameral.

When passed, the FLCA will require employers to start bargaining with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union.

Let’s make it happen!

TEAMSTERS CELEBRATE BIPARTISAN PUSH TO ADVANCE FASTER LABOR CONTRACTS ACT

Today, the U.S. House of Representatives reached the 218 signatures needed on a discharge petition to advance the Faster Labor Contracts Act. The petition, filed by Representative Donald Norcross (D-NJ, 1st District), will force a vote on the bill in the coming weeks.

“Securing the support needed to move the Faster Labor Contracts Act forward is a significant milestone for millions of Teamsters and workers across this country,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “This is one of the most consequential labor bills to come before Congress in generations. It has the potential to hold Corporate America accountable for endlessly dragging out negotiations and denying workers the first union contracts they deserve. The Teamsters Union thanks every Democrat and Republican who signed the discharge petition and made the choice to stand with workers.”

The Teamsters applaud House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY, 8th District), Rep. Donald Norcross, Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA, 3rd District), and House Democrats for supporting the Teamsters and working people across America.

The Teamsters commend Republican Representatives Mike Lawler (R-NY, 17th District), Nick LaLota (R-NY, 1st District), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA, 1st District), Don Bacon (R-NE, 2nd District), Max Miller (R-OH, 7th District), Riley Moore (R-WV, 2nd District), and Rob Bresnahan (R-PA, 8th District), who stood up for working people and helped force action on this critical bill.

The Faster Labor Contracts Act would amend the National Labor Relations Act to require employers to bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union. The Senate version of the bill, introduced last year by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), continues to gain bipartisan and bicameral support.

[Congressman Donald Norcross 🇺🇸 @DonaldNorcross]

The discharge petition for my Faster Labor Contracts Act just hit 218 signatures, guaranteeing that it will be voted on in the House! For too long, companies have used bad-faith stall tactics to deprive American workers from getting the contracts they deserve. With this bill, we’re giving our nation’s hardworking men and women the protections they deserve, because workers rights make the American Dream possible.

[Amazon Teamsters @amazonteamsters]

Our story isn't new, it's now just being highlighted. The Delivery Protection Act has given us the space to speak the truth about what Amazon wants to hide behind the boxes we deliver. We WILL speak up and make sure that Amazon is held responsible for the bad van conditions, lack of job security and unfair working loads. We're going to change the way Amazon operates so it operates better for workers! #AmazonTeamsters

“Doubling my taxes won’t help.” - 🐷

Cool. How about we give it a shot?

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

When Amazon pays poverty wages, it forces their workers to rely on social safety nets, putting more of a financial burden on taxpayers — all while Amazon profits.

We don't talk enough about how much taxpayers are forced to subsidize corporate profits.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Bezos: "We have way too much corporate welfare, way too much corporate subsidies. There's way too much influence in politics from business, in some cases, wealthy people who really focus on that, unions. There's a bunch of people interfering in the political process."

Amazon has received $15 billion in government subsidies since the year 2000 and paid 1.4% in federal taxes for 2025.
