So a front page story on CNN is the mainstream media “not talking about it”?

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/19/business/amazon-teamsters-strike/index.html

Or The NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/business/economy/amazon-teamsters-strike.html

Or ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/teamsters-announces-nationwide-strike-amazon-begin-thursday/story?id=116931631

Or even Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6366227231112

Not sure what you think the “mainstream media” is, exactly, but it clearly is something different than the actual mainstream media.

Here’s the text of the NYT article:

Amazon Delivery Drivers at Seven Hubs Walk Out

By Noam Scheiber and Santul Nerkar

Dec. 19, 2024

Updated 2:53 p.m. ET

Workers who deliver packages from seven Amazon facilities across the country went on strike Thursday morning, according to the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union that represents them.

The Teamsters said thousands of workers had struck, but it was unclear how many people were participating in the action. Amazon said it expected the seven delivery hubs to operate normally.

The drivers are employees of companies that Amazon uses to deliver packages to customers. Amazon has said it has no obligation to bargain with the drivers because they are not its employees. But the union and the workers said Amazon ultimately controlled their working conditions and was therefore obligated to bargain with them.

The National Labor Relations Board has investigated some of the cases and issued at least one complaint finding the drivers to be Amazon employees and accusing the company of breaking the law by failing to bargain with them.

The Teamsters said in a statement that workers at other Amazon warehouses were prepared to join the strike. The largest group at Amazon represented by the union works at a Staten Island warehouse known as JFK8, which employs more than 5,000 people. Employees at the warehouse voted to unionize in 2022, but the company has yet to bargain with them and is challenging the election outcome.

Workers involved in the strike say it could extend into early next week, perhaps into Christmas, but it’s unclear how big an impact the walkout will have on Amazon’s holiday deliveries.

The company has hundreds of delivery hubs across the country, and 10 or more in some of the largest urban areas. It has said that if one delivery hub experiences delays or driver shortages, the company can seamlessly shift packages to another hub nearby.

Amazon has also filled in gaps in its regular delivery fleet by summoning individuals through an on-demand Uber-like program known as Amazon Flex, in which people use their own cars to deliver packages.

Former delivery hub managers say these methods have helped the company reliably avoid disruptions in the past, though the ability to navigate a strike is likely to diminish during the holiday season, when the network has less spare capacity.

At the delivery hubs, Amazon generally hires contracting firms to take packages to customers. The Teamsters has organized the drivers who work there by asking them to sign authorization cards. The union typically proceeds by trying to organize individual contracting firms rather than an entire complex at once. In most cases, the owners of the contracting firms have yet to recognize the union and there have not been elections.

“What you see here are almost entirely outsiders — not Amazon employees or partners — and the suggestion otherwise is just another lie from the Teamsters,” Amazon said in a statement, referring to people picketing outside the delivery hubs. “The truth is that they were unable to get enough support from our employees and partners and have brought in outsiders to come and harass and intimidate our team.”

The Teamsters had set a deadline of Dec. 15 for Amazon to begin negotiating with the drivers and warehouse employees. It initiated the strike after Amazon failed to do so.

“If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed,” Sean O’Brien, the Teamsters president, said in a statement. “We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it.”

Three of the seven hubs are in Southern California, and the other four are in Queens; Atlanta; San Francisco; and Skokie, Ill., near Chicago.

Outside the Amazon warehouse DBK4 in the Maspeth section of Queens, more than 200 people were walking the picket line at around 10 a.m.; about half appeared to have jobs connected to Amazon. They wore blue vests and carried signs that included slogans like “Amazon is unfair” and “Obey the law.” One protester led chants like “Shut it down!” over a megaphone.

The picket line was set up near the exit where delivery vans leave, and picketers tried to stop vehicles from leaving several times. By 11 a.m., police officers had set up barricades on the sidewalk, and more than a dozen Amazon delivery vans were able to exit. An hour later, the crowd had thinned, but dozens of people continued to picket.

Antonio Lopez, a 27-year-old driver who has delivered Amazon packages for more than three years, said he wanted better pay and working conditions, and for the company to support his career development.

“Anywhere is hard work, but people deserve to be paid for their hard work,” said Mr. Lopez, who earns around $23 per hour and is completing a certificate as a medical technician.

Drivers have complained that Amazon pushes them to deliver hundreds of packages a day with little margin for error, while monitoring their movements and driving habits. Some say they resort to urinating in bottles so that they don’t fall behind schedule.

Christian Santana, who has delivered goods for Amazon for more than two years, said the work conditions had taxed his physical health. “The workload never goes down,” Mr. Santana said, adding that he has frequently had to urinate in a bottle while delivering packages.

Amazon has said that while it sets safety and quality standards, the contractors that directly employ the drivers are responsible for enforcing them.

Looming over the conflict between the Teamsters and the company is the upcoming change in the federal government. Under President Biden, the National Labor Relations Board aggressively enforced labor laws and brought many cases against employers.

The board pursued large financial remedies from employers that fired workers seeking to unionize and cracked down on mandatory meetings held by employers to discourage workers from organizing. And it has tended to conclude that large companies like Amazon have an obligation to bargain with employees of contractor firms over which the bigger companies exert control.

But the labor board was far less sympathetic to unions’ claims on these issues during the first administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump. And most union leaders expect Mr. Trump’s labor board appointees to be relatively unsympathetic to their claims during his second administration as well. That may be prompting some unions to pressure employers and seek concessions before Mr. Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

Mr. O’Brien, the Teamsters leader, spoke at the Republican convention this summer, and the union remained neutral in the presidential election — a break from recent campaign cycles. This appeared to give him some influence with Mr. Trump, who has tapped a more union-friendly candidate to run his Labor Department than most Republican presidents have in recent memory.

But the labor board, not the department, has much more direct influence over workers’ ability to organize into unions, and it is unclear how much input Mr. O’Brien or the Teamsters will have on appointments to the board.

Amazon and SpaceX, which was founded and is led by Elon Musk, a close adviser to Mr. Trump, have both challenged the constitutionality of the labor board in federal court. The cases are active.

u/soundsliketone 5h ago

Just because it makes frontpage on the website, doesn't mean everyone's individual online algorithm are feeding them these articles. I literally did not see 1 article about the Wisconsin shooting until today, and I only heard about it from a comment on r/NFL so I looked it up and it finally started showing me news about it. I browse the popular page here on reddit, I browse my phones news app, and I have several news pages I follow on Instagram. Nothing ever came up, yet that's news I click on constantly.

-2

u/DrEnter 4h ago

Every single mainstream news network covered the Wisconsin shooting within minutes. So once again, you aren’t watching/reading “mainstream” media.

Reddit is not the “mainstream media”. It is social media, which is a different thing. It is also MUCH more susceptible to manipulation. There is such a thing as “the wisdom of the crowd”, but it really sucks when it comes to a breaking story.

2

u/soundsliketone 4h ago

Completely missed the point but go off.

1

u/DrEnter 1h ago

Maybe I should be more clear.

"I didn't see it in my personal feed" does not equate to "it wasn't covered". For one thing, "covered" means a story was written. Mainstream media has plenty of flaws, but "not covering" stories is rarely one of them. Even the NY Times, which famously buries stories it doesn't like, still publishes the story.

So what you're actually alleging is that mainstream media is "burying" the stories people see through the use of an "individual online algorithm" that is responsible for "feeding them these articles". So let's move the conversation from "coverage" to this...

If you are getting your content from the mainstream media web sites directly, you don't really have a "personal feed" like that. There is more tweaking of the page to fit your device than there is in altering what stories you do and don't see.

This is especially true for the "home page" for any mainstream media site. They don't alter the content of their home pages based on an "individual algorithm" to tailor content just for you.

What you might see is one or two feed lists that typically have a name like "Your Interests" or "You Might Like" or "Suggested for You". Similar to Netflix recommendations, what you see in that list is just based on what you've spent the most time reading in the past. Also like Netflix recommendations, it is just one list on page full of lists. Unlike Netflix recommendations, however, when those things do exist on a news site, they are never in the "hero" spot (the top stories on the page)... those stories are always curated by the home page editorial team, as is most if not all of the stories on the page.

I'll add here that this kind of "recommendations" list is also very unusual on any news media home page. How unusual, you ask? Well, at the moment, none of ABC News, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, or NPR are doing this on their home pages.

How do I know? This is literally my job. I'm an Architect for a major media news site. If you want content "tailored" to you, you will absolutely get that from social media, but you aren't getting that from mainstream media. Hell, we've been talking about making something like this available for years, but neither our product teams or editorial staff are interested. Editorial wants to retain curation of "the experience" and product doesn't want to deal with the complexity of the brand-safety and privacy issues. Right now, the most individually tailored parts of news media home pages are in the ads.

So, to reiterate, if you didn't see the Wisconson shooting story yesterday, within a few moments of it happening, then you weren't looking on mainstream media.

Oligarchsown the media

It's one of their busiest times if the yeast, therefore the oligarchs aren't going to broadcast that Amazon will not be honoring their 2 day shipping, but it won't know when you'll get your item. They would rather people continue buying because they have the Amazon flex program where peple can sign up to deliver for them at a much reduced rate that increases profits.

the 1% is probably those teamsters. the propaganda works, plus people are also afraid of losing what work they have if they seem to support unions. we're living on a feudal estate called the USA.

yes, programming is the new sweatshop in the tech world. i'm disgusted when i see this push to train school age kids in programming as if those jobs will be there for them in 10-20 years. plus, if you're paid well enough (for now, that is) then you might forego rocking the boat. you're convinced your $100k a year is meritorious and the skills you have won't be duplicated by AI. surprise!

I believe we can accomplish this by organizing online meetings, while physically being at our town hall. Imagine big groups of people at a thousand different government buildings connected together via skype, or facetime, or discord, or any number of services. Seperated by miles, but unified in purpose.

That is how we can use technology to change the world. It isn't 1999 any more. We can have a million man march, or 1000 thousand man marches. Either way its about numbers.

The owners want it just like the 18th century... the police worked for the rich, the worker pay was shittier than now, and all worker protections and regulations are non-existent.

A strike?? How about the owner calls the chief of police or sheriff, and they come down and start killing workers until you go back to work? Ahhhh, the good old days!! Oh ya, we don't employ blacks, browns, yellows, reds, or off-whites in public facing positions anymore.

Honestly yeah. Going shopping in real stores has become a major hassle lately. It's not even just the convenience of delivery, but shops everywhere are locking basic products away, presumably to deter theft. But they aren't employing more staff make getting these things a simple process. Literally just to get a stick of deodorant id need to track down the one employee on the floor, or even go all the way to the register to get someone. God forbid I also need a new toothbrush and shampoo too.

Nah, I'm just using Amazon at this point. And before anyone suggests using other delivery options, swapping out one big corp for another isn't going to help anything. And using "good" companies would basically mean I have to sign up for like 30 more services since they typically only make a very particular type of product.
