Amazon Workers Rally at Queens Facility After Illegal Firing of Union Drivers

Amazon Teamsters and supporters rallied Monday at Amazon’s DBK4 facility in Queens following the company’s sudden and illegal firing of over one hundred of its unionized drivers. Drivers at the DBK4 facility joined the Teamsters in September 2024. Last year, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Amazon is a joint employer for its DSP drivers and has a legal obligation to recognize and bargain with them when they join the Teamsters.

“Amazon would be nothing without its workers. We’re the ones who power their profits. We’re the ones who put our health and safety on the line every single day. We’re the ones who made them a $2 trillion corporation,” said Latrice Shadae Johnson, an Amazon Teamster at DBK4. “If Amazon thinks we’re going to take this lying down, they have another thing coming. Our solidarity is only growing stronger. And know this: Amazon Teamsters will come out on top.” Check out more photos from the Teamsters hereand from the NYC CLC here!
