Labor Perspective From Teamsters Amazon Division Director Randy Korgan: In Fighting The NLRB, Amazon ‘Proves It's Terrified Of Worker Power’

Randy Korgan serves as Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division and Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 1932.  He recently penned a Labor Op-Ed that appeared in Newsweek on Amazon’s efforts to fight the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).  It read in part: We are at a turning point in the movement to Unionize Amazon.  Across the country, in the face of overwhelming corporate money and power, Amazon Workers are organizing with the Teamsters Union, fighting back against low wages, long hours and limited benefits.  Amazon is running scared, blowing past deadlines for Union recognition in violation of Labor Laws and hoping the courts will bail it out. Though they fail to realize it, Amazon has already lost this battle. Workers are taking control and they will be the ones who guide the future of the company.
