07:51 AM EST, 12/17/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com's ( AMZN ) drivers at its DIL7 delivery station in Skokie, Illinois, have voted "overwhelmingly" to call a strike, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters labor union said Monday.

The drivers are demanding a union contract that hikes their wages and benefits and enhances workplace safety, the union added.

Teamsters said it gave the e-commerce giant a deadline of Dec. 15 to bargain a contract.

"The way Amazon ( AMZN ) treats its workers is un-American," Teamsters General President Sean O'Brien was quoted as saying.

Amazon ( AMZN ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
