BREAKING: Over 100 Amazon drivers at the DAX7 facility in Los Angeles marched on their bosses today, demanding the employer recognize them as members of Teamsters Local 396 and bargain a union contract. The drivers are organizing to address Amazon’s low pay, punishing delivery quotas, and dangerous working conditions.



“Amazon is the richest company on the planet, but we can’t even afford to live near our jobs,” said Sara Venegas, a three-year driver at the DAX7 facility. “This company pays us next to nothing, offers us no benefits, and then lies that we are not its employees. We are done with their games. We are proud to be joining thousands of other Amazon Teamsters in the toughest union in America.”



DAX7 is one of the most important Amazon last-mile facilities in the country. The drivers are the latest at Amazon in Southern California to unionize with the Teamsters, joining workers in Victorville, City of Industry, Palmdale, San Bernardino, and Riverside. They join over 10,000 Amazon warehouse workers and drivers nationwide leading the charge to unionize the e-commerce giant.
