Chicago, December 18 (RHC)-- In the U.S., workers at three Amazon facilities have authorized a strike, setting up a potential work stoppage at the height of the holiday season at warehouses in New York, Chicago and Atlanta. 

The Teamsters union says Amazon failed to come to the bargaining table by a deadline of December 15th.  

Amazon workers at a Staten Island warehouse in New York became the first ever to win a union election in the U.S. back in March of 2022.  This comes as a new investigation led by Senator Bernie Sanders finds Amazon systematically ignores and rejects recommended worker safety measures and deliberately misrepresents workplace injury data.
