Amazon Investors Unbothered As Warehouse Workers Walk Off The Job: What's Going On With The E-Commerce Giant's Stock?
"If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it," said Teamsters general president Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares are trading higher Thursday despite thousands of workers walking off job sites in an effort to push the company to engage in contract negotiations. Amazon reportedly said it doesn't expect operations to be impacted.
