Overview
- Teamsters Local 1932 said members launched a one-day unfair labor practice strike at the DJT6 Riverside warehouse on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, and that workers on both primary shifts stopped work to protest unsafe conditions and low pay.
- The union framed the stoppage as possible because of a recent National Labor Relations Board outcome it says limits Amazon’s ability to retaliate against striking workers.
- Amazon rejected the Teamsters’ claims, saying the union does not represent DJT6 employees, that it saw no evidence staff joined the protest, and that operations at the hub continued without disruption.
- Workers at DJT6 joined the Teamsters in December 2025 and the union alleges the company has used intimidation and unlawful firings against pro-union employees, while Amazon points to recent investments in pay and benefits as evidence it supports its workforce.
- The recognition dispute remains unresolved and NLRB processes are ongoing, so key next developments to watch are formal NLRB rulings, any new unfair labor practice filings, and whether the union schedules further coordinated actions that could widen pressure on Amazon.
