I have a serious question, did the teamsters give all those Amazon workers those jackets?

[UPS909Strong]

It's mostly staff on the picket lines. The majority of Amazon workers don't want anything to do with the Teamsters

Those jackets are a couple hundred dollars, so these are all staff members and retirees.

So I thought the general idea of a strike is for workers to stop working. Did I get that wrong? Asking for a friend.

The strike was poorly organized by O'Brien.

[WTF891]

Maybe Hawley and Vance can join O'Brien on the picket line.

I'm confused. Bezos likes Trump and has donated $1 million to his inaugural party. Musk also likes Trump and donated hundreds of millions to his campaign. Musk reportedly convinced Trump to kill a budget deal to keep the government operating. Musk also likes to fire workers who strike, so does Trump and Bezos would surely agree. Musk recently met with Trump and Bezos at Trump's humble, blue collar-like palace to divey up federal space contracts between their previously competing companies. Sean likes Trump so must also have no problem with his buddies Musk and Bezos. Does this mean that the Teamsters' real commitment is to Trump and his billionaire buddies and the IBT's PR firm's saber rattling is just for show? Or can the PR firm convince Teamster members that putting 10,000 Amazon workers (out of 800,000 employees) (assuming the pictures are not of Teamster paid picketers) on the street will bring the company to the negotiating table? And lest we forget, the soon to be Trump NLRB will reverse the landmark decisions of the Biden Board that gave the IBT a basis for conducting an alleged unfair labor practice strike in the first place. Can someone explain how all this fits together and gets a contract for these exploited workers? And then you can answer the following question: Exploited by who?

More Perfect Union on X It's deeply shameful that the NYPD is blatantly and illegally interfering with a @Teamsters strike and.jpg Home X - 2024-12-19T122008.004.jpg
Police doing Amazon's dirty work.

What happened with ALU/IBT Local 1? I'm not hearing much about a picket there. Thought that would be the center of the strike since they'd won an election. Anybody hearing anything?

Yrah, O'Brien wanted to be the center of attention again.

I thought the strike activity wasn't supposed to begin at JFK8 until Saturday

[Jazzman]

Didn't know that, thanks.
