02:07 PM EST, 12/18/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon.com ( AMZN ) union workers at an Atlanta facility voted to authorize a strike after the company refused to recognize their union and negotiate on a contract, the Teamsters said in a statement Wednesday.

The latest authorization comes at Amazon's ( AMZN ) DGT8 facility in Atlanta and follows similar actions at other locations in recent days. So far, workers at eight of the 10 Amazon ( AMZN ) facilities where Teamsters is present have authorized strikes, according to the union.

Amazon Spokesperson Eileen Hards told MT Newswires that the Teamsters continued to intentionally mislead the public by claiming it represented thousands of Amazon ( AMZN ) employees and drivers.

"They don't, and this is another attempt to push a false narrative about the independent small businesses who deliver on our behalf," Hards said.
