Over 200 drivers at Amazon’s DBK1 delivery station in Woodside, Queens, successfully unionized with Teamsters Local 804. The workers informed management on December 9, 2025, demanding a union contract.
The drivers advocate for improved wages and enhanced safety standards. Key demands include more manageable routes and package quotas.
This action joins a national movement of nearly 10,000 Amazon workers organizing with the Teamsters across five states. The organizing effort reportedly drew inspiration from previous strikes at other New York facilities.
The Teamsters’ Amazon Division Director noted the challenging working conditions, particularly during the holiday season, as a factor driving workers to demand change.
