have organized under this model a demand for bargaining and he's refused to do it um and so we've given an ultimatum that if he didn't respond by december 15th that we would take appropriate action now when that happens that's up to him so um yeah we're gonna get him we're gonna get him how he's not just a threat to the parcel industry yeah he's a threat to every working
working job in this country. I mean, they've got grocery warehouses. And look, he should embrace sitting down and negotiate. Think about what he does every day. If you don't concede to his demands for him to carry a product and sell them, what does he do? He blackballs you, right? He basically strikes good companies from distributing their products if they don't agree to his low terms and costs.
Well, he should be savvy enough to say that, well, I have an obligation to negotiate with the Teamsters because I negotiate every single day with these people. And when I don't get what I want, I strike them. Basically, he strikes him, doesn't allow him in his system. And he's trying to do the same over here by not allowing us in his system. So what's going to happen to him at some point?
He's going to get struck. And, you know, sometimes he's a $2 trillion value of Amazon or him or whoever, but he doesn't really want to reward the people that have made him truly a success.
No, it is illegal. And unfortunately, there's a system out there. This is where, under this new administration with Trump, we have an opportunity to expose Amazon for what they are and how bad they've been. And again, you get back to, you know, we have all these politicians with rhetoric, right, about Amazon. Oh, Amazon, especially the Democrats— But you couldn't get— What kind of rhetoric?
Anti-Amazon? Oh, anti-Amazon. Like, well, we want to be out there for the Amazon workers, and we want to help them organize. And all this rhetoric, you know, Chuck Schumer's of the world wouldn't sign on to a letter. And then later find out his daughter works for Amazon as a lobbyist. Actually? Actually, a lobbyist for Amazon.
Yes, it is. Yes, she is.
I can't stand it. It's crazy. So this is what you're dealing with. So, yeah, you ask what we're going to do. We're going to organize them. We're going to make Jeff Bezos respect his workers. We're going to make Jeff Bezos an example of bad behavior from an employer.
Oh, it's going to be tough. I mean, it's not going to happen overnight. We've put together a program that's going to be a four to five year program. But every single day we are building momentum. We're building work of power. And, you know, he has to understand that he's not dealing with an organization that's going to go away.
We might not have the money that he has, but we definitely have one thing. We've got the workers on our side and we got intestinal fortitude, encouraging conviction to take on the fight.
I would say the majority of them. I don't have that statistic, but, you know, the part-timers I know that I've talked to, especially in the New York area, they're all in subsidized housing. Some of them are in shelters. You know, some of them are on the state health plans. You know, and people don't realize when they hit that send button,
they're actually paying double for the services because they're actually paying for social services. Yeah, for the safety net. Where an organization like mine would demand, like we do with UPS, like we do with DHL, like we do with every other employer, that they not only pay a respectful wage, but they also give them free healthcare. They give them a retirement.
They give them a career path to a retirement. You know, and people that hit that send button don't realize that not only are they paying for the delivery and the product, they're also paying for, you know, Jeff Bezos' white-collar crime syndicate of tax evasion and evading his obligation.
They're the cream of the crop. Think about during the pandemic. And this is where the team says, and I've spent two and a half years highlighting how valuable we are to this country. And I mean it with all sincerity. Pandemic was part of the worst thing that anybody's gone, we've witnessed in a long time, right? Where there was so much uncertainty.
But the one thing that was certain, whether you were, delivering packages or sorting and loading packages on a truck, whether you're in a grocery warehouse, whether you were working for a healthcare company, our members went out every single day providing goods and services to this country with total disregard for their safety, the safety of their families.
Some of my members lost their lives and we were deemed as heroes because we provided these goods and services. And we were heroes. Everybody was talking about us. Everybody's saying, oh, the American worker, the Teamsters, they're heroes. Well, when these companies are making record profits during the pandemic, and it comes time to reward our members, their employees, all of a sudden we're zeros.
So we've been reminding corporate America how important the Teamsters union are, but more importantly, the American worker, especially through a crisis. Because like you said earlier, You talk about Irish and Italians. I think corporate America has what they call Irish Alzheimer's. They forget the people that provide them the most, but they never forget when they get fucked on a dollar, right?
That's true. I think the team says, yeah, we do have the best workforce in the country. We're well-trained. We're safety conscious, but we fight hard for our members.
Men and women, right? Because they have pensions. They got big pensions. No, but I mean, like, you know what I mean. Is that true? I don't know. I mean, you hear stories. I mean, everybody likes a person in uniform. I never worked for UPS. I couldn't tell you that.
Yeah, I mean, I've got a face for radio, so I don't know, you know?
