NEWLY ORGANIZED AMAZON TEAMSTERS RALLY TO DEMAND RECOGNITION

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, December 12, at 10:30 a.m. ET, Amazon Teamsters and elected officials will rally outside of Amazon's DBK1 Facility in Woodside, Queens, demanding Amazon recognize the Teamsters Union as the bargaining representative for more than 200 DBK1 drivers.
