Amazon workers threaten strike in New York ahead of holidays

If company fails to meet deadline, it could lead to Amazon’s first large-scale unfair labor practice strike in the US

Amazon workers in New York have set a deadline for Sunday 15 December demanding the company agree to begin bargaining a first union contract with the union or else workers at the warehouse, along with other Amazon workers around the US, will begin an unfair labor practice strike.

Amazon workers at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York, made history in March 2022 when they became the first warehouse at the retail giant to win a union election in the US.
