BREAKING: Teamsters Force Amazon to Honor Right to Strike (Episode 16)

Host and Amazon Division Director for the Teamsters, Randy Korgan, speaks with Novelette (JFK8, Staten Island) and Josh (DCK6, San Francisco). In this breaking news episode, Novelette and Josh discuss a landmark settlement between Amazon and the Teamsters, facilitated by the National Labor Relations Board, in which the company has conceded it will no longer retaliate against workers who exercise their right to strike by deducting their Unpaid Time (UPT). If you are an Amazon worker, you know how crucial UPT is as one of the company's "flexible" benefits and as its attendance policy. Historically, Amazon has deducted UPT from striking workers, using it as a disciplinary weapon to intimidate them.  Together, Novelette and Josh break down how worker power forced this national agreement to protect the right to strike across all 1,300 facilities and won the restoration of UPT for everyone who has held the line.
