SKOKIE, Ill., Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamsters at the DIL7 Amazon delivery station in Skokie, Ill., have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike as part of their fight for a union contract that improves wages and benefits and strengthens workplace safety. This follows Amazon Teamsters at two New York City facilities announcing on Friday that they had authorized strikes.
伊利诺伊州斯科基，2024年12月16日 /PRNewswire/ -- 伊利诺伊州斯科基的DIL7亚马逊配送站的团队工人以压倒性票数投票授权罢工，以争取改善工资和福利并强化工作场所安全的工会合同。这是继亚马逊团队在纽约市的两个设施上周五宣布授权罢工后做出的决定。
"The way Amazon treats its workers is un-American," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien. "Amazon's so-called 'leaders' should treat their workers fairly — they just want to put food on the table for their families. Instead, Amazon executives risk ruining the holidays for their customers because of their addiction to putting profits over people."
团队工会总裁肖恩·O'Brien说："亚马逊对待工人的方式是看跌的。" "亚马逊所谓的'领袖'应该公正对待他们的工人——他们只想为家人提供餐食。然而，亚马逊的高管却因为对利润的沉迷，冒着毁掉客户假期的风险。"

DIL7为芝加哥地区的数千户家庭提供服务。团队工会在该设施代表数百名工人。
"Amazon is one of the biggest companies on Earth, but we are struggling to pay our bills," said Riley Holzworth, a worker at DIL7. "Other workers are seeing our example and joining our movement, because we are only going to get the treatment we deserve if we fight for it."
DIL7的工人拉里·霍尔茨沃思说："亚马逊是地球上最大的公司之一，但我们正为支付账单而挣扎。其他工人看到我们的榜样，加入我们的运动，因为只有通过斗争我们才能获得应有的待遇。"
Since these workers joined the Teamsters, Amazon has illegally refused to recognize their union and bargain a labor agreement.
自从这些工人加入团队工会以来，亚马逊非法拒绝承认他们的工会并进行劳动协议谈判。
The Teamsters gave Amazon a deadline of December 15 to come to the bargaining table and negotiate a contract. Amazon chose to ignore that deadline and is pushing workers across the country closer to launching a strike that could disrupt operations for customers at the height of the holiday season.
团队工会给亚马逊设定了12月15日的最后期限，以便进行谈判并达成合同。亚马逊选择忽视这一最后期限，正在推动全国各地的工人更接近发起罢工，这可能会在假期高峰期干扰客户的运营。
"The ball is in Amazon's court," said Juan Campos, Secretary-Treasurer of Local 705. "If they keep breaking the law, they will face the consequences."
当地705分会的书记兼财务主管胡安·坎波斯表示："现在该亚马逊采取行动了。" "如果他们继续违反法律，将面临后果。"
