Amazon Workers at DBK1 in Queens Become Latest to Join Teamsters

Over 200 drivers at Amazon’s DBK1 facility in Woodside, Queens, have organized a union with Teamsters Local 804. Workers marched on company management Tuesday morning to deliver the news and demand a union contract, becoming the latest to join nearly 10,000 Amazon workers across five states who have organized with the Teamsters.

“Amazon already has some of the worst working conditions in the country, but workers go through hell in order to deliver the holidays to millions of Americans,” said Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division. “Every day, Amazon workers across the country are exercising their power by joining the Teamsters. Our new members at DBK1 will be crucial voices as we continue this fight nationwide.”

“Amazon Teamsters have shown once again that in spite of their employer’s failed attempts to break them, New York is a union city,” said Vincent Perrone, President of Local 804. “Whether it’s on the job or at city hall, New York Teamsters are leading the fight to improve Amazon. We are ecstatic to be joined by our new brothers and sisters at DBK1.” Read more here.
