Teamsters On Strike Against Amazon Starting Today…

It’s how people learn to hate unions. They inflict inconvenience on the consumer as a way to get their demands met.

This brings to mind a 55 year old issue where both the union and company teamed up to inflict pain and suffering on me.

I was making a temporary move to NYC and decided to ship my clothes there where it would be waiting for me when I got there. On the day my clothes were to arrive there the transport union did a walkout strike AND sabotaged the shipments arriving by stripping the trunks and shipping containers of their shipping documents, resulting in thousands of lockers and trunks arriving in NYC with no clue on who they were shipped to. And on my arrival at the shipping station, was unable to identify my trunk from the thousands of look-alike trunks stacked to the ceiling, filling a gym size storage space. Then after the union intentionally lost my clothes, the shipping company inflicted their pain by lowballing my claim and taking three months to settle my claim for items that their employees intentionally lost.

Glad I ordered things early
I heard Starbucks might go on strike too

I haven't order amazon 4 years ago. XD actually almost 5 years

We ordered early this year thank goodness

Glad I'm done shopping and shipping.

UPS is still heavily used at Amazon. All striking drivers can easily be fired or replaced.
I got news for the workers, this is what you signed up for.

Well so far not affected. My first
Saturday order arrived a day early. That's 2 unaffected orders. I have more again for Saturday which I ordered yesterday.

I received an order today and expect a delivery Saturday. We shall see what happens.

It is a very small percentage of their workforce.

Not sure they are striking in Arizona
