Teamsters Confront Amazon: An Early Assessment

Abstract

recognize that these efforts have only just begun and are part of the Teamsters’ broader multifaceted strategy, which also includes legal and national policy strate-gies, shifting the narrative about Amazon in the media, and efforts to organize Amazon workers in other countries, such as Canada. Nevertheless, the Teamsters’ efforts to engage their own rank-and-file members, non-union workers in warehousing and delivery, and community members, are particularly promising developments that could help to counter corporate dominance in general and the rising specter of Amazon in particular.
