This afternoon, Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien administered the oath of office to the recently elected executive board of Amazon Labor Union-International Brotherhood of Teamsters (ALU-IBT) Local 1 at Teamsters headquarters in Washington, DC.



Four years ago, the Amazon Labor Union was formed at the JFK8 facility on Staten Island representing over 5,000 workers. In August 2024, the union took the historic step of affiliating with the Teamsters, creating ALU-IBT Local 1 to better organize and represent Amazon workers in New York City. Since then, Amazon Teamsters have led the charge at the city, state, and national levels for respect and dignity at the e-commerce giant. Earlier this month, the National Labor Relations Board issued a historic bargaining order demanding that Amazon negotiate a union contract with the Teamsters.



ALU-IBT Local 1 representatives include President Connor Spence, Vice President Arlene Kingston, Secretary-Treasurer Kathleen Cole, Recording Secretary Sultana Hossain, and Trustee Novelette Russell.
