Amazon Labor Union Joins Forces with Teamsters
The Amazon Labor Union (ALU), the first group of Amazon workers to unionize in the U.S., is moving to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to strengthen its position in negotiations with Amazon. Formed in 2021, the ALU has faced challenges in securing a contract and internal disputes. The affiliation, pending ratification by both ALU and Teamsters members, aims to bolster the union's efforts, though it has already faced opposition from some ALU members.
