Teamsters Local 804 @804_local

Amazon fired Esly Paredes to try to shut her up about safety. Esly isn’t going away — she’s bringing her fight to City Hall to demand the NYC City Council pass the Delivery Protection Act so Amazon can’t get away with retaliation. The Teamsters thank @tiffany_caban and 18 other Council Members who are demanding that Amazon bring back our Teamster-sister Esly! @CMRestler @CMAlexaAviles @voteshekar @ShahanaFromBK @CMJustinSanchez @OsseChi @SandyforCouncil @CnDelarosa @CMCrystalHudson @CMJenGutierrez @shirley4council @kaymsanto @juliej_won @HarveyforNY @CMAmandaFarias @CMBrooksPowers @CarlMichaelW @CMPiSanchez

The joy of announcing you've organized a union... there's nothing like it 🥲

SHITPOSTING WONT RUIN YOUR POLITICAL CAREER!

NLRB ORDERS AMAZON TO BARGAIN WITH TEAMSTERS ON EVE OF PRIME DAY Teamsters are lauding a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board ordering Amazon to bargain with workers at its DCK6 facility in San Francisco. The ruling came only hours before the start of Prime Day, one of the company’s biggest events of the year. This is the second bargaining order in less than three months that the trillion-dollar company has received from the NLRB. The board previously demanded that it comply with federal law and begin bargaining with Amazon Teamsters at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island. The Amazon Teamsters movement grows bigger and stronger every day and will not be stopped until union recognition and a Teamsters contract is won for all Amazon workers.

Especially good news since Prime Week coincides with the hottest days of summer, which can be a deadly combination for workers.

The workers who keep our city running are also exposed to rising temperatures and the health hazards of our worsening climate crisis. Today we stood with @NYCMayor, labor and community organizations, to celebrate an Executive Order that will protect workers from extreme heat.

This morning I joined @NYCMayor as he signed an executive order to protect workers from the summer's extreme heat. Workers are the backbone of our city and their protection cannot depend on the forecast. It must be built into public policy. Now, we're doing just that.

Today I signed an Executive Order for every worker exposed to extreme heat on the job. It requires multilingual heat safety guidance for workers, a review of construction site heat safety practices, and heat illness prevention plans at every mayoral agency. Extreme heat is a worker safety issue. The workers who build our skyline, staff our airports, stock our warehouses, and deliver our packages, keep this city running.  This executive order will ensure they come home safe at the end of every shift.

Our city must do everything in our power to protect New Yorkers from extreme heat. This Executive Order to protect workers is a lifesaving step. The city will also intensify outreach to unhoused New Yorkers in extreme heat emergencies—which we and advocates have long called for.

Mayor Mamdani Holds Press Conference to Make an Extreme Heat and Worker Protection Announcement

Thank you Council Member @CarlMichaelW for standing up for worker and public safety by cosponsoring the Delivery Protection Act!

Delivery service providers contracted with Amazon report being told to "precisely follow any route Amazon’s software lays out for them, even if it makes no sense, to help the algorithm learn." Yet Amazon still doesn't treat these folks as employees. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Amazon has used astroturfed lies and confusion to try and defeat the DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT but people aren’t falling for it. Thank you to @CMCarlWilson for cosponsoring!!!!

Several state AGs are involved in this too. Amazon apparently set an undisclosed price floor for its sponsored product ad auctions — inducing sellers to raise their bids even though no one was actually bidding against them. Amazon's took $68B in ad revenue in 2025.

O’BRIEN, ZUCKERMAN REELECTED TO SECOND FIVE-YEAR TERM LEADING TEAMSTERS The International Brotherhood of Teamsters announced today that Sean M. O’Brien and Fred Zuckerman have been reelected to another five-year term as General President and General Secretary-Treasurer, respectively, renewing a mandate for powerful, militant leadership on behalf of 1.3 million rank-and-file Teamsters across North America. The O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United slate was elected by white ballot at the union’s 31st International Convention in Las Vegas following a secret ballot vote of 1,572 delegates. All voting delegates were democratically elected to the convention by rank-and-file members from more than 330 local unions across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. No opposition candidates received enough votes to meet the Teamsters’ constitutionally required threshold to challenge the O’Brien-Zuckerman team. “This victory belongs to rank-and-file Teamsters. When we were sworn into office four years ago, our leadership team committed to building a bigger, faster, stronger union, and that’s exactly what we’ve done. We’ve organized more than 100,000 new members, won historic agreements including a record contract for 340,000 members at UPS, and put rank-and-file members back in the driver’s seat. The Teamsters is now the most aggressive, effective, and respected labor union on Earth,” O’Brien said. “Over the next five years, we have a lot of work ahead of us. The Teamsters face big fights at UPS and Amazon, and we are prepared to tackle those head on with the militancy and organization that has defined our administration. We will keep growing and never stop working for the members.” “The Teamsters are stronger, more secure, and more prepared to take on greedy employers than at any point in our 123-year history. We have more than $1 billion in total assets, and our Strike and Defense Fund stands at approximately $365 million, providing the ammunition to take on the boss and protect our members,” Zuckerman said. “The Teamsters have accomplished so much to expand our ranks, exert real political influence, and safeguard our members in an ever-evolving economy. But we’re just getting started. The future is bright and the state of the union is strong in the Teamsters.” O’Brien is a fourth-generation Teamster from Local 25 in Charlestown, Mass. Zuckerman joined the Teamsters more than four decades ago as a rank-and-file member in Houston and later went on to lead Local 89 in Louisville, Ky. Together, they bring an aggressive grassroots approach to taking on employers and prioritizing member involvement in the union. Over the next five years, O’Brien and Zuckerman have pledged to continue the fight at UPS and Amazon, strengthen Teamsters density in core industries, defend and improve contracts across every division of the union, and build even bigger bipartisan coalitions to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and other legislation to benefit working people. The O’Brien-Zuckerman Teamsters United slate will take the oath of office in March 2027. The 2027-2032 Teamsters General Executive Board includes: International Vice Presidents At-Large: Juan Campos, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 705, Chicago, Ill.; Lindsay Dougherty, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 399, Hollywood, Calif.; Tom Erickson, President, Local 120, Blaine, Minn.; Greg Floyd, President, Local 237, New York, N.Y.; Peter Finn, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 856, San Bruno, Calif.; Thomas Gesualdi, President, Local 282, New Hyde Park, N.Y.; and James Wright, President, Local 822, Norfolk, Va.; Western Region Vice Presidents: Mark Davison, President, Local 162, Portland, Ore.; Rick Hicks, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 174, Tukwila, Wash.; Victor Mineros, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 396, Covina, Calif.; and Karla Schumann, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 104, Phoenix, Ariz.; Central Region Vice Presidents: Danny Avelyn, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 554, Omaha, Neb.; Pat Darrow, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 348, Akron, Ohio; and Dustin Roach, President, Local 135, Indianapolis, Ind.; Eastern Region Vice Presidents: Rocco Calo, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 1150, Stratford, Conn.; William Hamilton, President, Local 107, Philadelphia, Pa.; and Matt Taibi, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 251, Providence, R.I.; Southern Region Vice Presidents: Thor Johnson, Vice President, Local 79, Tampa, Fla.; and Brent Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 745, Dallas, Texas; International Trustees: Sean Cedenio, Secretary-Treasurer, Local 570, Baltimore, Md.; Willie Ford, President, Local 71, Charlotte, N.C.; and Vinnie Perrone, President, Local 804, New York, N.Y.; Teamsters Canada International Vice Presidents: François Laporte, President, Teamsters Canada, Laval, Quebec; Stan Hennessy, President, Local 31, Delta, British Columbia; and Craig McInnes, President, Local 938, Mississauga, Ontario.

Amazon workers like Esly deserve a safe and dignified work environment.  DCWP is proud to stand with @amazonteamsters in support of the Delivery Protection Act.

They want to be the boss, but not the employer. If we let Amazon and other corporations propagate this model, we are going to seriously undermine the right of workers to organize, fight for better, and hold these companies accountable. This is the fight of the working class.

Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected. Workers deserve better.
