Watching scabs pull out to complete the routes of these guys who are complaining they don't make enough is just simply the funniest thing I have witnessed today!!!! Thanks Chris!!!!
I know a lot of guys that work as Amazon delivery drivers. But I don't know a single person who receives a paycheck from Amazon!!!! But as one of the higher paid "No Experience needed" jobs in my area, I am sure this is something they can't live without!!!
What do you call the holiday you’re celebrating Amazon day? If the crap under the tree is that important then you’re not celebrating Christmas because that’s not what it’s about.
They are not on Amazon payroll. They are third party so Amazon does not pay or offer them benefit like health and insurance. Now amazon is hiring driver urgently with incentive.
Contractors! NOT EMPLOYEES! 😂 These idiots do this right now right before xmas and Thanksgiving?? Fired!! Amazon, find a way to get rid of these idiots.
These ungrateful brats, get paid more than most of us, and they don’t get the packages delivered correctly 100% of the time and I’ve seen themselves throw packages, if he’s been hurt at work, who’s fault was it, his or the company and was OSHA involved
@@freedomrings.0007 correct! I rather give a shot to the drones that have these bunch of illiterate people demand things they don’t deserve. They want a better pay? Upgrade your skills, get a degree, anything. But these people want $30 dollars and hour!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂yeah right
No one is forcing you to work for Amazon! You are free to go to any employer who will hire you! From what I have heard, they pay better than most companies for unskilled labor!

These people need to understand they work for franchise owners AKA third parties not with Amazon they sign an arbitration agreement when they were first hired on their job that arbitration agreement is for Amazon meaning is they don't work with them they work with the third party franchise owner and The franchise owners think they can get away with it with the arbitration agreement but in reality that's just for Amazon they can't go after Amazon they have to go after the franchise owner.I had to tell off one franchise owner years ago that he thought the arbitration agreement was protecting him no that's not the case again that was for Amazon so if I dispute anything I have to take it up with the franchise owner in this case all those people who are on strike they need to go after the franchise owner and I knew this was going to happen from the get-go these people need to go work for UPS or FedEx Express because those are corporate company FedEx ground and Amazon due contract owners basically franchise owners
By the way if you're a prime member this is something that you don't know when you order something Amazon and it comes the next day that Amazon delivery driver that works the franchise owner is hold liable for anything why I'm saying that it's because what you don't realize you're actually still paying for shipping and that money goes towards to the franchise owner that every month prime membership is only towards Amazon so that you get faster service and everything else music ETC so every time you buy something on Amazon when you're a prime member you're actually paying for shipping that goes towards the franchise owner
Seems a lot of people are missing the point. These drivers do not work for Amazon. They work for a separate company that is contracted to provide a service for Amazon. These drivers should be striking against their company. Or even encourage Amazon to not contract with non-union contractors.
Why do the states where Trump won the highest percentage of votes have the lowest average household income and lowest GDP per capita, and the states where Harris received the majority of votes have the highest average household income and GDP per capita?
@Timberland1963 I don't celebrate Commercial Day of Greedy Gift giving that some government decided was on a particular day. And my personal opinion.. it shouldn't be just one day out of a year.. But everyone should approach it in their own way. I just think them doing this picketing is poorly timed.
The unions will raise their members, cost of dues and people will be in the same place, and it will cost people more money and the only ones that profit are the heads of the unions
I only count a few people waving signs. They have 1.6 million employees lol. What are you guys trying to do scare us? I love Fox but you can’t show ten people on strike trying to make a difference when everyone else is at work working.
What amazes me the most is everytime Sean M. O'Brien gets in front of a microphone, and his complete failure to outline the struggles these drivers are experiencing. "It is terrible." "They are treated badly." "These employees are being mistreated." But not once has he been able to clarify what that means. Even when pressed!!!
I think the Union she address how much of a salary the Teamsters are getting for representing them!!!! I am sure Sean M. O'Brien has no problem receiving his $250k/year salary. And that doesn't include the various kickbacks that I am sure he has become quite accustomed to!!!! But you members stand out in the cold for him, taking a salary hit for the team!!! Just as long as you remember to pay your dues!!!!
@@mknop3 That number makes more sense. The $250k is what they were willing to admit to for his 2023 salary!!! Especially considering how many of his officers make between $145k-$376k. And he has well over 200 officers. Makes you really wonder about that organization? I found that under "UnionFacts" Teamsters officer Salary Report. And realize that pensions are not required to be reported, so those are usually kept secret, and they pay way better than any member's salary!!!
Over regulation? A driver was hired by amazon affiliate company. With suspended license and felony warrants. He fled on foot after a fatal hit and run. More deregulation?
@X39X ordered Dec 4th with delivery date Dec 14th. Now go back to your basement. Why do people like you. Think they know everything. When you assume something it usually makes you the first 3 letters of assume. Wow there's always one of your kind.
@Timberland1963 they're late because Amazon workers want more money. I'd say that's in the greedy part of the Bible. If you are not happy with the job they agreed to. Look for another job. Not steal Christmas from children. Your statement says a lot about you. So sad.
Dang the interviewer really wanted them to feel guilty Bravo for the driver just pushing back like for real Christmas is one day get over it we need to be supporting our fellow Americans not to have such poor wages
This doesn’t matter in the least to people that know what Christmas is about. The people that want to celebrate the commercialism are going to be upset but those that are celebrating Christmas won’t care since Christmas isn’t about how much Amazon junk you get. It’s time for people to tune out the advertising and get back to what this holiday is supposed to be about not what these big companies have made it about. For a population that’s so concerned about global warming this is a big jump in emissions from the manufacturing and delivery of all this junk and how much of it ends up in a landfill in a few months. If your kids holiday is ruined because they didn’t get a big haul of gifts then you aren’t celebrating Christmas.
He really compareded slavery to their current work conditions. Thats wild. I dont think slaves could go on strike.
Nah 😂 that's how they get them whip wounds.
Exactly.
Amazon actually pays a fair wage and good workers get promoted. Most of the city of Cleveland is employed by Amazon.
You have clearly never worked at Amazon before
Kids Don't Have a Backbone or spine these days!
Amazon will just cancel the contract for the company that they work for and then they're out of a job.
I’ve been in a Union. I’ve been in your shoes. I quit when the Union abused me worst than the company.
So have I. The bad taste still lingers
Same here! I had to become a SEIU local 1000 steward in order to defend myself from management and the union
Unions are the the problem in USA
If I put myself in your shoes, I would quit the union...immediately.
If I put myself in their shoes I would be working for a garbage company making crap pay.

yes and the entire media won't say that just like 1000's of other topics here
Yea theyre replaceable as 3rd party drivers. They just give it to usps or FedEx or hire more drivers
That's how lo they are ,screw their customers just b4 Christmas. They are beneath contempt no you put yourself I the people's shoes .

It's the same thing for the sellers so Amazon is not liable for the products, but will try to find common ground in a dispute
Screw the teamsters...amazon hold your ground
You don’t have to work for Amazon if the job is to hard go somewhere else in this economy everyone suffers think about it
Go give your kids what they really need. And something you don't want to give. Your time.
This is why you NEVER hire teamsters.
Too many 3rd party delivery services offering contract positions. Strikers need to walk away.

Hopefully, you don't work for the IRS.
Wonder how Trump administration is going to be pumping Qvarden Token
He can’t even articulate why they are on strike
Nobody who's LITERALLY broke could be able to strike-you have money get back to work!!!
Yeah, buy local, buy brick and mortar. There fixed. Move on
Would someone remind why unions are a good thing?

Love seeing all the people in the comments waking up to the dangers of Unions.
The dumbest move was trying to hijack Christmas
Amazon classifies them as independent contractors. If Amazon controls every aspect of their route, truck, etc., they are not independent contractors.
Are these people driving their own cars or Amazon vehicles. My deliveries are dropped off by an Amazon driver that has an Amazon logo on the vehicle.

Nation wide protest shud be conducted by all workers and labourer while these corporation makes billions and Keeps us on minimum wage
