(LOS ANGELES) – Over 100 Amazon drivers at the DAX7 facility in Los Angeles marched on their bosses today, demanding the employer recognize them as members of Teamsters Local 396 and bargain a union contract. The drivers are organizing to address Amazon’s low pay, punishing delivery quotas, and dangerous working conditions.
“The movement to unionize Amazon grows stronger every day because of courageous workers like the drivers at DAX7,” said Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division. “Amazon will claim that these drivers don’t work for them, but that is a lie. Amazon Teamsters will not rest until they get the respect and contract they have earned.”
“Nobody sacrifices more and receives less than Amazon workers,” said Victor Mineros, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 396 and Teamsters Western Region International Vice President. “These workers break their backs for this multitrillion-dollar company. This is a fight for the future of the logistics industry, and we could not be more excited to welcome DAX7 drivers to the Teamsters.”
DAX7 is one of the most important Amazon last-mile facilities in the country. The drivers are the latest at Amazon in Southern California to unionize with the Teamsters, joining workers in Victorville, City of Industry, Palmdale, San Bernardino, and Riverside. They join over 10,000 Amazon warehouse workers and drivers nationwide leading the charge to unionize the e-commerce giant.

Good luck with that.
Borrowed time, like buggy whip makers in 1915. Those trucks will be driving themselves in a few years.
“Nobody sacrifices more and receives less than Amazon workers,”
That is as big as a ‘lie’ gets.
The American taxpayers sacrifice a huge part of their income and receive nothing for it. The politicians and crooks do though. We have going on $40 trillion to prove it.
THAT WILL BE BETTER THAN THE DRIVER WHO DROVE INTO MY PRIVATE PROPERTY WHILE FOLLOWING HIS GPS.
ASIAN-—COULD ONLY SAY OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN: “NO SPEAK ENGLISH”. HE WAS 150’ SHORT OF A TURN ONTO AN OBVIOUS STREET.
SHOULDN’T EVEN BE BEHIND THE WHEEL——WHO GAVE HIM A DRIVER’S LICENSE??????????????
NO ENGLISH
How many of them want to actually unionize versus those who are just loudmouths and activists?
I’d love to know many of the overturned semis on Colorado highways right now are driven by undertrained foreigners. It’s like a Demolition Derby out there.
Yes, how interesting the Teamsters have been completely silent about the proliferation of incompetent and deadly illegal drivers on the nation’s highways, completely undermining their own industry.
But I guess as long as Sean O’Bryan, or whatever his name is, keeps getting kickbacks from the thousands of fly-by-night driver training schools that have sprouted up everywhere during President Cabbage”s administration, it’s all good.
Fine! Quit and work somewhere else.
Jimmy Hoffa for Teamsters President!.

I don’t care whether they unionize. I’m wondering about job openings posted for drivers on trucks. Why don’t they leave Amazon and get a better paying trucking job?
Unionization is the number one cause for inflation in this country. Skippy and Muffin wanting 31 bucks an hour to throw frozen fries in some grease will definitely run up the cost of cheap junk food.
Are the Teamsters still the enforcement arm of organized crime?
Self-driving trucks with slide-out bins could be sent out after 10pm.
Drones would carry packages for the last mile.
Your Prime package would be at your door when you wake up.
“door”
safely near your back door
“Why don’t they leave Amazon and get a better paying trucking job?”
Amazon is the biggest ‘sheep’ that could be fleeced.
Self driving trucks *and* “last 100 feet” drones.
Another inflation feeder
