Teamsters union launches historic nationwide strike against Amazon: 'Paying the price'

[FoxBusiness] Teamsters represents about 10,000 workers at ten Amazon facilities across the United States.

Thousands of Amazon workers organized under the Teamsters union went on strike at 6 a.m. Thursday after the company's "repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain."

Amazon Teamsters at seven facilities in Skokie, Illinois; New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco and Southern California are participating in the "largest strike" against the trillion-dollar company in American history, the union said in a news release. Workers at other facilities are prepared to join them.

Though Teamsters says it represents about 10,000 people across ten Amazon facilities in the U.S., the company doesn't recognize workers' affiliation with the union.

Amazon says the Teamsters union is "intentionally [misleading] the public" because they don't represent Amazon employees and drivers, company spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement to Fox Business.

#1 Great timing there Teamsters. Screwing the public to make your message. If the employees deserve it or not, you suck for making the customers Christmas a possible mess...
