strike

Amazon has settled with federal labor officials, agreeing not to retaliate against striking workers. The e-commerce giant will reinstate “illegally” deducted unpaid time off (UPT) for over 100 employees, ensuring future strikes can occur without fear of UPT loss. Amazon maintains it did not admit wrongdoing. This settlement stems from accusations that UPT deductions and disciplinary actions unlawfully coerced employees participating in protected concerted activities. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters has been actively organizing Amazon workers.
