Amazon union workers and the Teamsters have inked a deal


It’s a potentially powerful alliance with one of the biggest unions in the US.

Union members at JFK8 approved an affiliation agreement with the Teamsters after three days of voting, the groups announced today. “Having the support of 1.3 million Teamsters to take on Amazon gives us tremendous worker power and the opportunities to demand better conditions for our members and, most importantly, to secure a contract at JFK8.” Amazon workers at the company’s biggest US air cargo hub, KCVG in Kentucky, also voted to affiliate with the Teamsters earlier this month.
