Amazon workers at two key facilities in New York are threatening to strike just before Christmas, demanding better wages and working conditions. The Teamsters Union, representing 6,000 workers, set a deadline for Amazon to start negotiations, which has not been met. Workers like Luke Renee emphasize the need for improved safety and work environments, expressing frustration at having to 'beg' for these conditions. Labor experts note the strategic timing of the strike threat, as it coincides with Amazon's peak holiday season, potentially giving workers more leverage. Amazon, however, claims its large network will prevent any disruption to Christmas deliveries, advising customers to track their orders online. The situation highlights the tension between labor demands and corporate logistics during a critical retail period.
