Amazon Teamsters Vote to Authorize Strike at Two Major NYC Warehouses.

Hundreds of workers at Amazon in NYC — both at JFK8 in Staten Island & DBK4 in Queens — have signed strike authorization cards, giving Amazon the deadline of December 15th to come to the bargaining table after they spent months illegally holding out.

Christmas is the busiest time of year for workers, with many of them having to work 12+ hours a day away from their families.

Recently, the Senate failed to confirm Biden's nominees to the NLRB. NYC-DSA members had been pushing to secure a pro-worker majority on the NLRB.

In the context of an incoming Trump presidency and NLRB, how do we make mega-corporations like Amazon pay? (Spoiler alert: by building worker power)

Join us to talk directly with workers at both Amazon facilities about how to support them in their fight for a contract with Amazon! We'll also hear from organizers with the NLRB pressure campaign on the political situation nationally.

The labor movement needs every single one of us, see you at the call!
