Workers are demanding improved wages, benefits, and safer working conditions, particularly during the busy holiday season.

Luc Rene, an Amazon delivery driver, stressed that workers should not have to beg for better safety and working conditions.

A significant strike has erupted involving Amazon workers, primarily organized by the Teamsters, following the company's alleged refusal to engage in legal bargaining.

In response to ongoing labor issues, Amazon has increased its minimum wage by 20% over the past six years, now averaging around $22 per hour.

Experts suggest that Amazon is unlikely to negotiate with the union, fearing it could lead to further union activities and demands.

The strike impacts various facilities, including a warehouse in San Francisco and delivery stations across southern California, New York City, Atlanta, and Skokie, Illinois.

The National Labor Relations Board has investigated claims against Amazon, determining that workers should be classified as employees and accusing the company of legal violations for not negotiating.

Leah Pensler, a worker at the DCK6 warehouse in San Francisco, highlighted the historic nature of the strike against Amazon's union-busting tactics.

Striking workers in New York have protested outside a parking garage, confronting delivery drivers and receiving support from various solidarity groups.

Concerns about job safety and financial stability have been voiced by workers, with some struggling to meet basic living expenses.

Amazon employs over 800,000 people in the U.S. and operates more than 600 fulfillment centers and delivery stations.

The Make Amazon Pay campaign, which began in November, seeks to address perceived anti-worker practices, with protests occurring globally.
