National Right to Work Foundation Offers Free Legal Aid to Amazon Workers Who Seek to Rebuff Teamsters Strike Order

Amazon Employees and Amazon Delivery Service Partner employees impacted by Teamsters strike should resign their memberships before returning to work

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has released a legal notice to Amazon employees and drivers for Amazon Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), informing them that they have options to continue working and providing for themselves and their families in the face of a strike order issued by Teamsters union officials. […]

The legal notice informs any impacted employees of their rights, including their right to resign union membership and continue working as the strike is ongoing. The notice discusses why workers across the country frequently turn to the National Right to Work Foundation for free legal aid in such situations. […]

“Many drivers and warehouse workers may be shocked to learn that Teamsters officials believe they have the power to discipline workers for simply continuing their work and not striking,” added Mix. “Regardless of how the legal disputes between Amazon and the Teamsters shake out, federal labor law has always been clear on these points: Workers have a right refuse union membership or resign at any time, and union officials cannot legally subject such nonmember employees to fines or other internal discipline for choosing to work instead of participating in a strike.”
