New York, December 21 (RHC)-- Thousands of Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers at seven facilities across four U.S. states — New York, Georgia, California and Illinois — have completed the second day of a historic strike after taking to the picket lines Thursday. 

It comes after Amazon refused to bargain a fair contract as workers demand higher wages, better benefits and safer working conditions. 

The Teamsters described it as the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history. President Sean O’Brien said in a statement: “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed.”

In New York City, police stormed the picket line at an Amazon facility in Queens, arresting an Amazon driver on strike and a Teamsters leader; they were both later released.

On Wednesday, reports emerged of Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos dining with President-elect Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk at Mar-a-Lago.
