Strikes at nine Amazon facilities have ended, after five days of walkouts by thousands of delivery drivers and warehouse workers in the middle of the holiday package rush. 

The strikes — which were organized by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and officially ended on Christmas Eve — spanned facilities in New York City, Atlanta, California and Illinois, including Staten Island's JFK8 warehouse, which became Amazon's first U.S. warehouse to successfully unionize in 2022. The Teamsters say they represent more than 10,000 Amazon workers across 10 U.S. warehouses and delivery stations, and have been calling on the company to come to the table to negotiate on better pay and improved job safety.

The Teamsters don't officially represent any of the e-commerce giant's employees, although the JFK8 union, Amazon Labor Union (ALU), voted in June 2024 to affiliate with the Teamsters. In a statement to CNN, a spokesperson for the company labeled the recent strikes a "PR play," while claiming that the Teamsters have been illegally interfering with workers. Amazon also doesn't recognize its drivers as employees, instead classifying them as "delivery service partners" employed through third-party independent contractors. 

The Teamsters say that they plan to continue their fight against Amazon into the new year, but did not specify where or when any additional strikes might occur in the weeks ahead.

“Make no mistake, the Teamsters will never let up and workers will never stop fighting for their rights at Amazon,” a spokesperson told CNN. "Stay tuned."
