The Amazon union workers have struck a deal
The Teamsters and Amazon Labor Union (ALU) will fight “fearlessly” to ensure Amazon workers secure jobs and safe working conditions they deserve in a union contract, Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien said. “Amazon will have to answer to the Teamsters and ALU, standing together,” he added. This comes after ALU won elections in New York and Staten Island.
California’s Governor has imposed a statewide ban on driverless trucks
The Teamsters union has urged California Governor Gavin Newsom to veto the bill that would have required a safety driver on self-driving trucks weighing over 10,000 pounds through at least end of the decade. The bill, AB316, would have given California Department of Motor Vehicles time to consider rules allowing trucks over 10,000 pounds to drive on California roads.
