Teamsters California and the Amazon Teamsters Division applaud the California Senate for passing Assembly Bill 288 (AB 288), which would enhance California's ability to protect workers' rights to organize in the face of increasing attempts by employers to rip away worker protections under the National Labor Relations Act.



The push for AB288 comes amid an attempt by billionaires like Jeff Bezos to undermine federal law by having the NLRB declared unconstitutional.



“Amazon respects neither its employees nor federal law and that’s all the proof we need that it’s more urgent than ever to pass AB 288,” said Vanessa Valdez, an Amazon Teamster at DAX5 in the City of Industry, Calif. “The only way this greedy company will negotiate a fair contract with workers like me is if it’s forced to.”



The Teamsters call on Gov. Gavin Newsom to sign this important legislation that protects workers and holds companies like Amazon accountable.
