Amazon Labor Union Votes to Affiliate to Teamsters Union

07.26.24

Staten Island, NY—Amazon Labor Union members voted to affiliate with the 1.3 million-member International Brotherhood of Teamsters by a near-unanimous 98.3 percent. 

ALU-International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) Local 1, which will be newly chartered, will represent the roughly 5,500 Amazon warehouse workers at JFK8 in Staten Island, N.Y., and will have jurisdiction for Amazon warehouse workers across New York’s five boroughs.

The labor affiliation brings renewed representation and powerful resources to Amazon workers as they organize nationwide and demand a contract from the trillion-dollar global corporation.
