Amazon—NLRB ruled Amazon must negotiate with Staten Island warehouse union after finding unfair labor practices
On April 2, 2026, the NLRB ruled Amazon must negotiate with the Amazon Labor Union (now aligned with Teamsters) representing ~5,000 workers at the Staten Island warehouse. The NLRB found Amazon 'has engaged in unfair labor practices' by refusing to bargain. Amazon plans to appeal and has sued to block the NLRB, arguing the agency is unconstitutional. The Teamsters called it 'a historic victory for Amazon Teamsters nationwide.' Across the country, 10,000 Amazon workers have organized with Teamsters at 13 facilities.
