Amazon workers to join Teamsters’ labor strikes in US



Amazon.com workers are organizing to join Teamsters' strikes in several U.S. states over unfair labor practices, the labor union said on Thursday.

This comes after 100 Amazon drivers started a strike at the e-commerce giant's facility in Skokie, Illinois, in June.

The strikes extended to the states of Georgia, California, Kentucky and New York, the union said.

Amazon.com did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
