 July 10, 2023 | LABOR LAW | A group of delivery drivers based in Southern California contracted with Amazon.com Inc. have been striking for nearly three weeks, but questions remain whether the workers are actually considered Amazon employees and what the strike could mean for the e-commerce giant... If the Teamsters are to be successful in their NLRB claim and force Amazon to recognize the union, they need to prove the company was a joint employer, according to legal observers. Randy Korgan, secretary-treasurer at Teamsters Local 1932 in San Bernadino, Calif., said Amazon had complete control over Battle-Tested Strategies and could hire and fire employees unilaterally, a key test of a joint employment under the National Labor Relations Act.
