Massive Strikes Against Amazon and Starbucks Threaten Holiday Deliveries

Amazon warehouse workers across New York City and other regions have joined in historic strikes led by the Teamsters union, demanding better pay and working conditions. Thousands of workers have walked off the job, with the protests expanding as the holiday season approaches, raising concerns about potential delays in Christmas deliveries. The Teamsters have initiated their largest strike against Amazon in American history, declaring that momentum is on their side as they enter the second day of action. Simultaneously, Starbucks workers have also expanded their strikes in several U.S. cities. While Amazon claims that operations remain unaffected, economists warn that these labor actions could backfire and disrupt the usual holiday shopping flow. As the situation develops, the impact on deliveries and customer satisfaction remains to be seen.
