Summary

Thousands of Amazon workers from California to New York remain on strike as the Teamsters try to pressure the retail giant into allowing them to join contract negotiations. Workers at seven facilities have been striking over the company’s refusal to recognize the union and its contract negotiation needs. The Teamsters only represent ten thousand of the million and a half Amazon employees and Amazon says this strike will not disrupt holiday deliveries. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Madison Alworth, FOX Business Network correspondent reporting from outside an Amazon delivery hub in Maspeth, NY, who says Amazon has told FOX Business that the work stoppage has been created and “manufactured” by the Teamsters.
