This order represents the second time in recent months that federal regulators have compelled the company to the bargaining table. The board previously issued a similar mandate regarding workers at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, New York.

NLRB Forces Amazon to Negotiate With San Francisco Union
The National Labor Relations Board has directed Amazon to enter contract negotiations with workers at its DCK6 facility in San Francisco. This decision marks a significant escalation in labor relations, arriving just as the retail giant prepares for its high-volume Prime Day sales event later this month.
Amazon officials remain resistant to the board's findings. A company spokesperson confirmed that management disagrees with the ruling and intends to pursue an appeal. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters currently maintains a footprint of over 1.3 million workers across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, positioning this dispute as a major test for labor organizing within the company’s logistics network.
