Teamsters Amazon Strikes

[Tracy]

Quick question for the crowd. Does anyone view the recent strikes as a success? And did anything Amazon do in response actually matter? I saw the NYPD arrested brother Rosario, and there was a mysterious pipe that burst in Queens, but other than that what did Amazon do in response? I saw they issued some stupid press releases.

The strike was poorly planned and a failure.

You can thank Sean O'Brien and Randy Korgan for it!

That is what I keep hearing, but do we think it didn't accomplish anything? I think they at least got some media attention. However, I do agree that they need to stop calling it a strike. What they did was not a strike and it really takes the teeth out of that word.

[BBeatle]

It's hard to call it a strike when 99% of the picketers didn't work for Amazon, and surely Amazon knows it.

[Faust]

No one won anything and it was done before Trump took office who is now in bed with Bezos.

With a new NLRB, or no NLRB, the whole Amazon delivery driver campaign is wasted and over. Elections have consequences. O'Brien's beef with the dems seems even more petty now, if that's possible.

He's a manchild, they hurt his little short man, football failure feelings. He walked out on the labor movement and became a tool for the party of billionaires.
