Amazon employee Josh Muirhead has highlighted the company's competitive wages, noting they surpass other job postings on Indeed by a significant margin. This statement was made on X on December 20.
"I work for Amazon, and assure you they are paying more then any other job postings on indeed by ALot," said Muirhead.
According to Market Watch, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters recently organized strikes at several Amazon facilities across the United States, including locations in California, Illinois, New York, and Georgia. The union described this as the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history, claiming participation from nearly 10,000 workers.
Amazon has contested these assertions. A company spokesperson said that the picketers were "almost entirely outsiders, not Amazon employees or partners," as reported by AP News. The company maintains that its operations have not been significantly impacted by the strikes and that holiday deliveries remain on schedule.
Wyoming Public Media reported that strikes before Christmas aimed to pressure Amazon during peak shopping, with turnout including both union members and non-Amazon employees, though participation was reportedly small.
According to The Ohio Press Network, over 400 workers from Omnisource in Toledo and Frito-Lay in Wooster, Ohio, voted to remove Teamsters union representation following petitions filed in 2023. The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation provided legal aid to employees Dusty Hinkle and Daniel Caughhorn, who initiated the decertification process. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) validated the election results despite objections from Teamsters officials. These decisions allow workers to end union representation, although the Teamsters union may still request a review.
