Thousands of Amazon workers began strikes on December 19, 2024, at facilities across the U.S., including New York, Illinois, and California, during the busy holiday season.
Organized by the Teamsters union, the strike demands better wages, safer working conditions, and labor contracts after Amazon failed to meet a December 15 negotiation deadline.
Amazon has not publicly commented but historically resists unionization efforts.
While the strikes involve a fraction of the workforce, they highlight growing labor tensions and could disrupt operations during the peak shopping period.
