Amazon strike threatens to disturb the Christmas business!

In the crucial days before Christmas, Amazon threatens a massive strike in the USA that, according to the Teamsters union, could be the largest of its kind in the history of the company. On Thursday, at 6:00 a.m. local time, thousands of employees in New York City, Skokie (Illinois), Atlanta, San Francisco and Southern California want to put down work during the highest sales days. The teams have already levied complaints against Amazon's "insatiable greed" and demand better wages and working conditions, since the e-commerce giant refuses to negotiate with them, so Krone .

Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker in San Francisco, explained that the upcoming event is considered "historical" and that the union claims to represent around 10,000 employees in ten camps by Amazon. Sean M. O’Brien, the President of the Teamsters, sees the situation of de -escalating the situation as a responsibility of Amazon. "If your package comes later during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed," he said. Amazon driver Gabriel Irizarry also criticized the company sharply by emphasizing that the many words about care about employees are very worth considering when it comes to respecting their rights and negotiating better working conditions, reported Spiegel .

A strike could hit Amazon in the Christmas business sensitively and thus increase the pressure on the company to finally conduct serious negotiations. According to the union, the employees are frustrated and concerned about their financial living conditions, and it is expected that the strike will consider the processes and deliveries considerably during one of the most sales.
