Amazon labor union votes to join Teamsters

Workers in Amazon’s labor union voted to join the Teamsters by a huge margin of 98.3 percent as labor activity churns following a period of elevated inflation.

The newly chartered ALU-International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Local 1 will represent the around 5,500 Amazon warehouse workers at the company’s facility in Staten Island, N.Y., the Teamsters said Tuesday.
