Have you ever worked as a nurse with the lives of 50 patients in your hands, and the nurse who is supposed to replace you doesn't show up, so now you have to work a 16 hour shift (no choice unless you want to lose your license), hoping that you don't make any mistakes that might cost someone their life? Have you ever worked for a corporation in a stressful job, and had to deal with corporate politics and commute 50 miles each way? I've done both.

According to the law at 1099, CONTRACTOR does not belong to any union! You work by the hour !An independent 1099 contractor - has no connection to any union!
Your stupid. What amazon has done is find a loop hole. They let private owned LLC owners be the 1099. Then they give the drives a job w2 as an employee. But amazon still makes the rules for the 1099.

They are companies that fulfill the orders, but they are not 1099, they work for a company, they are going after Amazon and Amazon pays the contract to their boss, and that contracted company pays them, they are picking Amazon and Amazon this time, really has nothing to do with them.

Yes it is. I love how well played Amazon security was. Ball deep in holidays and here is strike. They should get rid of contracts and directly hire those people. Otherwise Amazon will spend billions and billions losses
Why does A 1099 contracted driver needs a union…. ? Amazon pays $20.99 per hour plus benefits for their workers. 8x20.99=$167x30 =$5.010.00 x12= $60K per year Some people don’t make half of that!

They're a nuisance. Fire them and get a better distribution company. I live by a fulfillment plant and the quiet traffic has been wonderful. Speeding and wreckless jerks. ....they're definitely on strike.
Forget Amazon and the nonsense. Join the trades. Learn a skill and have a career for life. The pay is good, work is always available and they have pensions.
Now that I know more. There is literally no reality where this "Strike" will affect Amazon in any way. For ever 1 unionized worker there are hundreds that just wanna go to work without politics.
That's okay. This will be a learning experience for kids to be patience. A lot of people today have become materialistic and heartless. Time for these kids to go out and live life without their toys or phones. Show them how to cut the grass, change a tire, build their own toy out of scratch. Start supporting your local retailer.
That moment you realize you are not as important to the company you work for as you thought you were. "If", They considered you contractors or sub-contractors. My question is, did they take taxes out of your pay, by providing a W2 or do you receive 1099 tax form ? 🤔
Amazon drivers do not work for Amazon. They work for a DSP that is contracted by Amazon to deliver. Only 10 locations in USA are unionized. Teamsters are shooting themselves in the foot.
Non-union Amazon worker arrested for showing solidarity with the union. Perhaps the NYPD should be considered a third party contractor for Amazon as well.
These aren't Amazon employees and can be fired with little to no legal risk. Just because you think you are an Amazon employee, doesn't mean you are an Amazon employee.
I stand with Amazon, you can only pay warehouse workers delivery drivers, and burger flippers so much, these are not 90,000 dollar a year jobs, I have had no problems what's so ever getting my packages, if they don't like their jobs there are lots of laid off workers that will take them.there is a lot of layoffs going on right now and a lot of people working 2to3 part time jobs with no benefits just to survive in these hard times, if you have a good job right now thank god, there are a lot of people struggling in these hard times, a lot of layoffs going on.
These happed many companies and retail you send cv for full time automatic reject or want contract for low salary and you need to move other location with your money.

These are FACTs. These folks are 3rd party, not Amazon workers. Amazon should release all of the 3rd party workers and be careful who they hire going forward.
The best way to make companies negotiate and talk if you are dealing with issues and strict guidelines within the company like not allowing a brake to care of health or relief after a bad day or emergency situations. Then is to simply not draw attention to yourself because then that just wants the leaders of corporations to put more guidelines on you .
I work at Amazon in Fall River Massachusetts and no one in my building is union, the teamsters stand at the entrance trying to recruit us as we try to get to work
1:45 not anymore. There is no skill in the job. Everyone can be replaced with someone that will work for less. Even uber delivery may take their job. Its the same reason fast food cant strike. They would be replaced in 24 hours, managers included. For the exception of a commercial drivers license in a few drivers (semi-trucks) what skill is required to work at amazon. Not saying the job isn’t necessary just not skill required.
@ endurance isn’t a skill though .Most people work 8 hours a day. I am a manager, i have worked fast food for 37 years. Even though i have all that experience i know they could easily replace me. I have seen entire crew terminated over not confessing who ate a desert without paying for it. There was a full replacement crew next morning.

@@a.d.morton4624 low IQ idiot.
So glad my packages will get where I need them to go and in time.
Wishful Thinking!
@Nda54Gem
Nope!
I've gotten all my packages on time without any holdup whatsoever.
Your thinking needs to be returned for a bigger size.
The international brotherhood of teamsters president on average makes anywhere from half a million to almost 1 million a year. While manipulating low wage workers and causing them to lose jobs due to protesting and striking outside job locations. And in some cases obtaining a prison (criminal) record.
They're a nuisance. Fire them and get a better distribution company. I live by a fulfillment plant and the quiet traffic has been wonderful. Speeding and wreckless jerks. ....they're definitely on strike.
These comments are straight up bots.
Highly likely there will be partnerships between X or Tesla with Qvarden Token
Forget Amazon and the nonsense.
Join the trades. Learn a skill and have a career for life. The pay is good, work is always available and they have pensions.
@DonJoesph
All those jobs going to DEI hires and migrants
Now that I know more. There is literally no reality where this "Strike" will affect Amazon in any way. For ever 1 unionized worker there are hundreds that just wanna go to work without politics.
Independent contractors are not employees
Anything but paying their actually working employees 5:1,000,000, of the upper echelon. Worker:CEO pay there is an abomination.
Qvarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
lol contractors think they can strike. Hilarious. They just find other contractors. Y’all stupid
Not just them, but, workers inside peeing in bottles !
@ lol. Use the bathroom. If you’re peeing in bottles you gotta go.
Yet it worked a few months ago , you stupid 😂
The packages are delivered by themselves.
LOL, i think i am Sant's elf. He should come to the table and negotiate with me.
2:00 sorry to all the children not getting Christmas because of this strike. Better luck next year!
That's okay. This will be a learning experience for kids to be patience. A lot of people today have become materialistic and heartless. Time for these kids to go out and live life without their toys or phones. Show them how to cut the grass, change a tire, build their own toy out of scratch. Start supporting your local retailer.
Real Amazon employees know that joining strike means end of employment although it didn't written.
That moment you realize you are not as important to the company you work for as you thought you were.
"If", They considered you contractors or sub-contractors.
My question is, did they take taxes out of your pay, by providing a W2 or do you receive 1099 tax form ? 🤔
They get a W-2 from their contractor ( the company that hired them..called a DPS... *NOT Amazon*
Just dont be a picker worst job on the body!!!
They force them to wear amazon uniform and force them to drive amazon owned vans by, lol. What a joke
Amazon drivers do not work for Amazon. They work for a DSP that is contracted by Amazon to deliver. Only 10 locations in USA are unionized. Teamsters are shooting themselves in the foot.
Worked at a Amazon warehouse. 2 words never again.
As a Amazon worker, I understand why they doing what they doing the rest of y’all if you don’t work for Amazon, I never did stfu
Amazon trying to be hella slick
Yup and them packages gonna end up in woods somewhere!
Contract not full time . They have different temporary job provisions .
They are independent contractors, not employees
and i'm Tom Brady
Non-union Amazon worker arrested for showing solidarity with the union. Perhaps the NYPD should be considered a third party contractor for Amazon as well.
Tons of drivers on the road. No one striking in San Jose
They’re on the road here but tons of packages aren’t being delivered to the right houses. They’re just dropping them off at random homes
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I support amazon.
Well. Safe to assume you've never worked for them.
Soon Amazon will have driverless vehicles, but there will be a passenger to walk the box
"Ahhh I would consider my self an Amazon employee" bro.... these are contract workers not even amazon employees. This is going NOWHERE.
Teamsters is a joke.
These aren't Amazon employees and can be fired with little to no legal risk. Just because you think you are an Amazon employee, doesn't mean you are an Amazon employee.
You don’t negotiate with the ‘terrorists’. Metaphorically speaking in this case.
Defending a multibillion dollar company who does not treat there workers right. Aren’t you pathetic
That's why CEO killed.. United. @@legostarwarsthefullsaga8637
I stand with Amazon, you can only pay warehouse workers delivery drivers, and burger flippers so much, these are not 90,000 dollar a year jobs, I have had no problems what's so ever getting my packages, if they don't like their jobs there are lots of laid off workers that will take them.there is a lot of layoffs going on right now and a lot of people working 2to3 part time jobs with no benefits just to survive in these hard times, if you have a good job right now thank god, there are a lot of people struggling in these hard times, a lot of layoffs going on.
These happed many companies and retail you send cv for full time automatic reject or want contract for low salary and you need to move other location with your money.
True and many people unemployed my friend go to interview and reject all like 120 people because don’t have experience I search 5-6 year for entry level 🥶.
Okay then Make yah own burgers 🍔 and get your packages 📦 that was tossed out the window down your road!
@@Nda54Gem I don't buy 15 dollar burgers and I pay to have my packages delivered, I don't owe you clowns anything you sure as hell weren't around anytime I needed a raise and I would be very very careful tossing my package out the window, trust me, semper fi. sweetheart.🦾
These are FACTs. These folks are 3rd party, not Amazon workers. Amazon should release all of the 3rd party workers and be careful who they hire going forward.
She’s right the drivers aren’t actually Amazon employees they each have their own companies DSP’s
Idiocracy movie come to life.
More like a series for 4 years now. Good news its canceled for the next 4. Biden,kamala, Pelosi, …. The list is long. Have no more power.
Go shop at the stores and get what’s on the shelf!
The best way to make companies negotiate and talk if you are dealing with issues and strict guidelines within the company like not allowing a brake to care of health or relief after a bad day or emergency situations. Then is to simply not draw attention to yourself because then that just wants the leaders of corporations to put more guidelines on you .
The owner of Amazon is correct , they are not Amazon drivers but they work for delivery services and jobs in what ever shifts need filled in.
She said, they're not any of their third parties either. Somebody is lying..
Don’t fold to the Unions!
Don't pee in bottles at work!!!
Don't pee in bottles at work!!
Don't pe e e in bottles a t w o r k.
Don't pee in bottles at work.
@@YourAssistantWarriorwhy not?
I work at Amazon in Fall River Massachusetts and no one in my building is union, the teamsters stand at the entrance trying to recruit us as we try to get to work
1:45 not anymore. There is no skill in the job. Everyone can be replaced with someone that will work for less. Even uber delivery may take their job. Its the same reason fast food cant strike. They would be replaced in 24 hours, managers included. For the exception of a commercial drivers license in a few drivers (semi-trucks) what skill is required to work at amazon. Not saying the job isn’t necessary just not skill required.
It does take skill.. Temp Workers can not fill in for the day and replace us lol they wouldn't last 5hours out here.
@ endurance isn’t a skill though .Most people work 8 hours a day. I am a manager, i have worked fast food for 37 years. Even though i have all that experience i know they could easily replace me. I have seen entire crew terminated over not confessing who ate a desert without paying for it. There was a full replacement crew next morning.
Then why are some distribution centers closed
I hope all parties involved will come to a temporary agreement.
be lucky you have a job
They are very lucky, so many large companies shutting down. And just before Christmas, they don't care about children losing out on Christmas day,
Be Lucky you get packages to your door or tossed on yah driveway!
Teamsters trying to MUSCLE amazon. won't work. Hahahaha. you can't FIX STUPID.
Mega corporations will do anything they can to avoid responsibility for those who work for their profits.
Plenty of unemployed people who would LOVE to have their jobs… move along, there’s nothing to see here… 😂
Just replace all of them.
With illegals.
Stop being lazy. Shop at brick and mortar stores.
