It was unclear what percentage of the 250,000 seasonal workers, which include staff in sort centers, fulfillment centers and delivery stations, would be in fulfillment centers or transport employees. The transport employees will not include delivery service partners or their teams, according to a company spokesperson. Online holiday shoppers are expected to spend a record $240.8 billion, up 4.9% from last year. While Amazon's hiring plans remain flat compared to last year, the company is still outpacing big box competitor Target, which will tack on 100,000 workers for the season. An Amazon spokesperson said the Teamsters have "misrepresented the facts" as the union accuses Amazon of retaliating against BTS for drivers unionizing.
