Teamsters Local 804

Workers of the world unite! ✊ DCWP spoke with @amazonteamsters about May Day, the Protected Time Off Law, and organizing their workplace.

Amazon is the most anti-worker company in America. Last year, it doubled its spending on outside union busters trying to stop the Teamsters from unionizing the multitrillion-dollar corporation. The Amazon Teamsters movement will only get bigger and stronger at facilities all over the country. Worker power will grow louder until union recognition is won and a Teamsters contract is secured for Amazon workers: justcauseteamsters.substack.com/p/amazon-doubl…

“There’s one thing more powerful than a billionaire – and it’s a union.” Hours before the 2026 Met Gala, which was sponsored by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, union organisers put on a ‘Ball Without Billionaires’ in New York, featuring Amazon delivery drivers, warehouse workers and campaigners. “Working people are underpaid, undervalued and under-appreciated,” said co-host Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. “Let those billionaires uptown have their Met party – we’re going to have something way more fabulous down here!”

On fashion’s big night out, we turned the lens onto the garment, retail, warehouse, and delivery workers who make the fashion industry possible. Read the full piece: x.com/nycmayor/statu…

Our union’s official statement on the arrest of Christian Smalls at the Met Gala:

Thank you Council Member Elsie Encarnacion for co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act! NYC’s delivery drivers and warehouse workers deserve to be protected from irresponsible and unsafe employment practices. The City Council must pass this legislation!

Thank you @CMLindaLee for co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act! Let's pass this legislation and prioritize safe streets and fair treatment for workers powering our city's economy.

Thank you @OsseChi for co-sponsoring the Delivery Protection Act! Delivery worker injuries are rising, neighborhoods are getting polluted, and traffic crashes are skyrocketing. We need legislation to hold companies like Amazon accountable and keep our communities safe!

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram.

They call it fashion. They call it culture. But who actually creates it? The people working. The people building. The people making it all possible. Not billionaires. #LaborIsArt 🔗 Go to the link. Add your name. laboris.art

Culture is not created by the billionaires. Amazon Teamsters REPRESENT!

Our union was proud to attend A Ball Without Billionaires, a worker-led alternative to the Bezos-backed Met Gala that centered the people who make this world run. Shoutout to VP Arlene Kingston on the runway 🔥 We’ll keep fighting for justice at Amazon. Our movement grows daily!

We are so proud to participate in the Ball Without Billionaires. And Teamster Amazon Drivers Latrice and Lamont DESTROYED ON THE RUNWAY. LABOR IS ART!!!!

On #MayDay, we joined hundreds of New Yorkers to march on Amazon, one of the biggest corporate threats to our communities and our democracy. Amazon cannot build its empire on exploitation, surveillance, and displacement without resistance. The working class is fighting back.

Happy May Day.

Happy International Workers' Day, and solidarity with every worker fighting today for a better tomorrow. It’s up to each of us to continue building the labor movement started by generations before us to fight for the future we deserve!

May Day protests in NYC kicked off this morning with Amazon workers and community supporters picketing in front of Amazon’s JFK14 office in midtown Manhattan, demanding the company drop its contracts with ICE and CBP, and to pay its workers a living wage. 📷 Lisa Thomas/ALIGN

Proud to be in solidarity with you all this morning!
