The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has issued a legal notice to Amazon employees and drivers for Amazon Delivery Service Partners (DSPs). The notice informs them of their rights amidst a strike order from Teamsters union officials. This development follows reports that the strike order targets thousands of employees, including those working for Amazon contractors in locations such as New York, Skokie, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Southern California.

Amazon management disputes the authority of Teamsters union officials over these employees. The company argues that the organizing tactics used by the Teamsters are legally questionable. In response, the National Right to Work Foundation's notice explains that workers have the right to resign from union membership and continue working during an ongoing strike.

“The Foundation wants you to learn about your legal rights from independent sources. You should not rely on what self-interested union officials tell you,” states the notice. It further mentions that “Foundation staff attorneys have directly assisted Teamster-represented workers in numerous cases over the years, including multiple recent victories challenging illegal coercion from Teamsters officials.”

For those interested in returning to work during the strike without facing disciplinary actions from union bosses, the notice provides guidance on how to resign from union membership. It includes sample resignation letters and emphasizes that non-union members cannot be disciplined by Teamsters officials.

“Union officials can (and often do) fine actual union members who work during a strike,” warns the notice. It advises workers to consider resigning at least one day before returning to work during a strike.

Mark Mix, President of the National Right to Work Foundation, commented on tactics employed by Teamsters officials: “Teamsters union officials used a number of legally questionable tactics to claim control over several Amazon workplaces.” He highlighted issues in Staten Island where "the union didn’t even know the identities of the Amazon employees they claimed to represent."

Mix also pointed out misconceptions among workers regarding disciplinary powers claimed by Teamsters: “Many drivers and warehouse workers may be shocked to learn that Teamsters officials believe they have the power to discipline workers for simply continuing their work and not striking.” He reaffirmed federal labor law stating that "Workers have a right refuse union membership or resign at any time."
