Teamsters Celebrate NLRB Ruling for Amazon Bargaining in San Francisco

Amazon Ordered to Negotiate with San Francisco Workers Before Prime Day

As Amazon braces for one of its busiest shopping events, Prime Day, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a mandate for the company to negotiate with employees at its DCK6 facility in San Francisco. This decision is hailed as a significant victory by the Teamsters, who are championing workers' rights against the global retail behemoth.

Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division, voiced the union's strong approval of the ruling. "The Teamsters applaud this decision and will do everything in our power to ensure that Amazon complies with it. Once again, an NLRB judge has rightfully ruled against the most abusive and corrupt employer in the world," Korgan stated.

This recent decision marks the second time in under three months that the NLRB has directed Amazon to engage in negotiations. Earlier, the board issued a similar order concerning the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, highlighting persistent tensions between the e-commerce giant and its workforce. More details on that ruling can be found here.

Addressing Amazon's past interactions with its employees, Korgan commented, “Amazon has repeatedly demonstrated it has no interest in recognizing its workforce or respecting workers enough to meet them at the table. But as this ruling proves, Amazon cannot forever dodge its legal obligations. The time for Amazon to start bargaining is now.”
