Amazon Teamsters in San Francisco demand contract negotiations
Nov. 5, 2024  | Amazon Teamsters at the DCK6 warehouse in San Francisco are demanding that Amazon bargain a union contract and are calling on the e-commerce giant to stop violating labor laws and recognize their union rights. The workers are organizing with the support of Teamsters Joint Council 7 and Local 2785. They delivered their bargaining demand in a march on management this morning. Amazon is legally obligated to bargain because the company did not contest that a majority of workers support a union within the legally mandated two-week period, following the workers’ October 2 demand for union recognition.
