Teamsters File Charges After Amazon Union Buster Wages Homophobic Attack
Posted On: Nov 27, 2024
Nov. 27, 2024 | WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION | Amazon Teamsters marched on the boss in New York on Wednesday after a corporate union buster hired by the trillion-dollar company verbally assaulted and repeatedly used a homophobic slur against an Amazon driver as he arrived for work. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters are filing unfair labor practice (ULP) charges against Amazon over the assault, as well as formal complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). During the incident, [the corporate union buster] verbally threatened the Amazon delivery driver with physical violence at work before loudly calling the Teamster a homophobic slur multiple times as he prepared for work. The driver was able to begin making deliveries as work got underway on Tuesday but was notified by Amazon management later in the day that the e-commerce giant was suspending him pending an investigation into the attack.
