Amazon workers voted to authorize strikes at four Southern California logistics facilities, saying the online retail giant has refused to recognize the Teamsters as their union and negotiate a contract.
Workers who voted to strike are based at distribution and fulfillment hubs in the City of Industry, Palmdale and Victorville, and a sprawling air hub at the San Bernardino International Airport.
The union said in a Dec. 17 statement that the strike authorization vote came after Amazon ignored a Dec. 15 deadline to recognize the union and negotiate a contract for higher wages and better benefits.
I suppose Amazon can transfer incoming goods from the West ports to other distribution hubs?
But Santa could be late in delivering presents this year.
