Thousands of Amazon Workers Strike

Thousands of Amazon.​com workers went on strike Thursday during the crucial run-up to Christmas over contract negotiations and the company's refusal to recognize the Teamsters labor union.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union that represents the Amazon employees, called the action the largest ever strike against Amazon by U.S. workers.

"If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon's insatiable greed," said Teamsters General President Sean M.

O'Brien in a statement Thursday.

"We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members.

They ignored it," O'Brien said.
