 Aug. 7, 2024 | PROTESTS | (Click image to enlarge.) Seven union activists with the Teamsters were handcuffed, detained and criminally charged while protesting outside an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island last month, as tensions between the e-commerce giant and the powerful union escalate. Video footage of the July 17 protest obtained by The Washington Post shows New York Police Department officers rounding up and restraining union leaders — including Teamsters officials and local warehouse union activists — after warning them they would be “subject to arrest,” for remaining on “Amazon property,” amid a crowd of protesters. The Teamsters say the incident took place on public land outside the warehouse, where police have informed workers they can safely protest. The Washington Post
