12:20 PM EST, 12/13/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com's ( AMZN ) unionized workers at its JFK8 and DBK4 facilities in New York City have voted to authorize strikes, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters labor union representing them said Friday.

The vote follows the company's refusal to recognize the workers' union and negotiate to address wage and safety concerns, the Teamsters statement said.

Amazon ( AMZN ) management has until Dec. 15 to engage in collective bargaining negotiations, it said.

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