Teamsters lead Amazon warehouse walkout in Palmdale

Over 80 Union Teamster delivery drivers and dispatchers for Amazon staged a walkout at the company's Palmdale warehouse, protesting against Amazon's violations of Federal Labor Law and demanding better pay and improved working conditions. The workers joined the Teamsters in April, becoming the first to unionize at Amazon in the U.S. However, the workers feel that things have not improved since then. The drivers and dispatchers are employed by Battle Tested Strategies, which contracts with Amazon, but the Teamsters claim that Amazon controls almost every aspect of the company's operation and refuses to negotiate with them.
