    Amazon and the Teamsters faced off this fall in various venues, with a mixed outcome.

    Finally got around to reading this article. It's a balanced look at the status of Teamster efforts at Amazon, particularly interesting as we come up on the anniversery of the "strike", no body seems to be talking about another one. The article does point out a few bright spots in the campaign like in Kentucky and NY City. Even with that after three years not much progress to report considering how big and rich Amazon is, it's hard to imagine one union, even the Teamsters having much of a chance on our own.

      I’m sure there will be some huge Amazon “ action” just prior to the teamster convention! A lot a “Sabre rattling” And tough talk from our wizard of Oz.

            That Organizing Director is a total moron. He has not produced anything.

              I was told that they won't let any of the Organizers take vacation over the holidays. They're being punished because the Organizing boss didn't bring in the numbers. They're treated worse than the workers they are trying to organize. What a disgrace this outfit has become.

                Too many unions look at the organizer position as entry level expendable.

              Are you referring to the Korganizer?

                    I wonder if Vinnie will demand the IBT negotiate a contract for the organizers who did the same thing in demanding recognition? It sounds like the OBT wants it both ways. Did the drivers vote? Or was this was another PR stunt by O'Trump.
