the 30th International Convention
Summary
Delegates at the 30th International Convention, with representatives from all 500 Teamsters local unions, will vote Thursday on a new resolution to build worker power at Amazon. Members will vote on the resolution which reads that "building worker power at Amazon and helping those workers achieve a union contract is a top priority for the Teamsters Union and the Union commits to fully fund and support the Amazon Project." The resolution also calls for a "unified approach" between regional partners, local unions, joint councils, and international representatives in the fight against Amazon."The next American labor upsurge is on the horizon, but we must do the hard work necessary to make it a reality," Randy Korgan, Teamsters National Director for Amazon, wrote in an op-ed last week.
