An attendee holds a "Support Amazon Teamsters" sign during a rally with workers and union members as part of an "Amazon Teamsters Day of Solidarity" in support of the unionization and collective bargaining of Amazon delivery drivers at the Teamsters Local 848 in Long Beach, California, on Aug. 29, 2024. Hundreds of Amazon delivery drivers at one of the company's New York facilities joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union announced Monday, marking the latest escalation of organizing efforts in its logistics network. The drivers work for Cornucopia Logistics, DNA Logistics and Champion Logistics, a Teamsters spokesperson said. A majority of drivers at each of the contracted firms signed authorization cards to join the Teamsters, the union said in a release. Last week, Amazon announced it was hiking wages for contracted delivery workers as part of a $2.1 billion investment into the program.
