The 2024 Teamsters Amazon Strike was a strike action by the Teamsters against Amazon. The strike began on December 19, 2024 and ended on December 24, 2024. Teamsters claimed it was the largest strike against Amazon, with ten thousand workers, 1.4 percent of Amazon's US workforce, at seven locations in California, Georgia, Illinois, and New York. The strike began after a deadline set by the Teamsters to start negotiations, December 15, 2024, passed without response from Amazon.
Amazon stated that the strike would not impact holiday deliveries and that Teamsters do not represent any Amazon employees. However, the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that one group of employees at one location (Staten Island) belong to a union (Amazon Labor Union, which started independently in 2021 but affiliated with the Teamsters in June 2024), though Amazon has appealed that ruling.
Amazon claimed that the strike was an attempt to intimidate Amazon employees.
