Amazon Teamsters Threaten Strike Ahead Of Crucial Holiday Season: 'We Are Going To Hold This Company Accountable'
Amazon Teamsters Threaten Strike Ahead Of Crucial Holiday Season: 'We Are Going To Hold This Company Accountable'
"Amazon is pushing its workers closer to the picket line by failing to show them the respect they have earned," said Teamsters General President Amazon Teamsters threatened Sunday to strike against Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), escalating tensions between workers and the e-commerce giant ahead of the crucial holiday shopping season.
亞馬遜Teamsters週日威脅要對亞馬遜公司（納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN）進行罷工，在關鍵的假日購物季之前，員工與這家電子商務巨頭之間的緊張關係加劇。
What Happened: "We are ready to strike to stop Amazon's unfair labor practices," the Amazon Teamsters posted on X. "Amazon is legally required to bargain a union contract that addresses our low pay and unsafe working conditions. We are going to hold this company accountable."
發生了什麼：「我們準備罷工，以制止亞馬遜的不公平勞動行爲，」 亞馬遜Teamsters在X上發帖說，「法律要求亞馬遜討價還價一份工會合同，以解決我們的低薪和不安全的工作條件。我們將追究這家公司的責任。」
The strike threat follows Thursday's vote by workers at two New York City facilities—JFK8 and DBK4—to authorize strike action. The union set a Dec. 15 deadline for Amazon to begin contract negotiations.
罷工威脅是在紐約市兩個設施（JFK8和DBK4）的工人週四投票批准罷工行動之後發生的。工會將亞馬遜開始合同談判的最後期限定爲12月15日。
"Amazon is pushing its workers closer to the picket line by failing to show them the respect they have earned," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien.
Teamsters總裁肖恩·奧布賴恩說：「亞馬遜未能向他們表示他們贏得的尊重，這使他們越來越接近糾察線。」
Amazon spokesperson Eileen Hards disputed the union's claims in an email to Benzinga, stating, "For more than a year now, the Teamsters have continued to intentionally mislead the public – claiming that they represent 'thousands of Amazon employees and drivers'. They don't, and this is another attempt to push a false narrative."
亞馬遜發言人艾琳·哈茲在給本辛加的一封電子郵件中對工會的說法提出異議，他說：「一年多來，Teamsters繼續故意誤導公衆——聲稱他們代表'成千上萬的亞馬遜員工和司機'。他們沒有，這是又一次推行虛假敘事的企圖。」
"The truth is that the Teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated, and attempted to coerce Amazon employees and third-party drivers to join them, which is illegal and is the subject of multiple pending unfair labor practice charges against the union."
「事實是，Teamsters積極威脅、恐嚇和企圖強迫亞馬遜員工和第三方司機加入他們的行列，這是非法的，並且是工會多項懸而未決的不公平勞動行爲指控的對象。」

Why It Matters: The labor dispute comes during Amazon's peak season, with the company reporting record Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. JP Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth recently named Amazon his top retail pick, citing the company's dominant 45% share of U.S. e-commerce.
爲何重要：勞資糾紛發生在亞馬遜的旺季，該公司報告了創紀錄的黑色星期五和網絡星期一的銷售額。摩根大通分析師道格·安默斯最近將亞馬遜列爲他的首選零售商，理由是該公司在美國電子商務中佔據了45％的主導份額。
The facilities in question serve over 20 million residents in the New York metropolitan area. This year's holiday shopping season is the shortest since 2019, with just 27 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, adding pressure to Amazon's delivery operations.
這些設施爲紐約都會區的2000多萬居民提供服務。今年的假日購物季是自2019年以來最短的購物季，感恩節和聖誕節之間只有27天，這給亞馬遜的配送業務增加了壓力。
