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.”
