America’s largest labour union passed a resolution on Thursday to aid Amazon workers who have aspired to unionise.
The Teamsters drafted the resolution in the wake of several years in which Amazon has become a major focus for the union as Amazon’s effect on blue-collar workers has increased.
About 99% of nearly 1,500 delegates from the Teamsters union, which represents over a million employees across North America, voted in favour of the resolution at the union’s 30th annual convention, which was hosted online. This union-supported resolution outlines that the union will supply all the resources required and establish a dedicated department to organise Amazon workers.
