The Amazon Labor Union, which has faced setbacks since its landmark victory on Staten Island, is now looking to affiliate with the Teamsters.
An upstart Amazon union has moved to affiliate with the Teamsters, one of the largest labor unions in the country.
The Amazon Labor Union has faced setbacks since its landmark 2022 victory in Staten Island, including infighting among leader Chris Smalls and some members.Amazon workers arrive with paperwork to unionize at the National Labor Relations Board office in Brooklyn, New York, Oct. 25, 2021.The Amazon Labor Union, the company's first group of workers to organize at a U.S. warehouse, said Tuesday that it's taken steps to affiliate with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Aligning with the Teamsters, one of the largest labor unions in the U.S., could give the ALU additional heft to jumpstart negotiations with Amazon. The Teamsters, formed in 1903, has long sought to organize Amazon warehouse and delivery workers, and created an Amazon division, the Teamsters said the affiliation was unanimously approved by the union's board on Tuesday.
The decision has already generated pushback from the ALU Democratic Reform Caucus, the group that sued the ALU last year. Arthur Schwartz, an attorney for the caucus, said it was unclear how the ALU will hold a membership vote to ratify the Teamsters affiliation when it "doesn't possess a list of employees, much less a membership list."
In March, ALU members voted to hold an election for new union officers. Smalls has said he doesn't plan to run for reelection as ALU president. That election is expected to be held in July in person outside of JFK8, Schwartz said.
