Some workers in Alabama are taking part in national strikes targeting two retailers during the holiday season.

The unions of the North Alabama Area Labor Council (NAALC) are taking part in actions against Starbucks and Amazon in parts of north Alabama.

Starbucks workers in Scottsboro joined a national strike today, according to the NAALC. The Scottsboro Starbucks has seen union activity over the last two years. The action comes after the Teamsters staged a picket line last week at Amazon’s Huntsville facility on Greenbrier Road.

NAALC President Jacob Morrison said he was part of both demonstrations.

“Without our labor, these corporations would be nothing. The sooner that all workers – not just at Starbucks and Amazon, but everywhere – realize our power, the sooner we will be able to build a better Alabama, and a better country, where all working class people can live a dignified life, with high wages, decent healthcare, and a secure retirement,” Morrison said.

The Amazon picket line took place last Thursday and Friday. Morrison said as many as 18 Teamsters took part in the picket. By extending the picket line, the Teamsters invited unionized drivers to honor the picket line rather than make deliveries.

An Amazon spokesperson said the Teamsters action was not joined by any Amazon employee and did not affect deliveries at the company’s fulfillment center.

“For more than a year now, the Teamsters have continued to intentionally mislead the public – claiming that they represent ‘thousands of Amazon employees and drivers.’ They don’t, and this is another attempt to push a false narrative. The truth is that the Teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated, and attempted to coerce Amazon employees and third-party drivers to join them, which is illegal and is the subject of multiple pending unfair labor practice charges against the union,” Amazon said in a statement.

According to Forbes, nearly 10,000 employees began a strike last Thursday at Amazon facilities in several cities. The Teamsters issued a statement through general president Sean O’Brien, attributing potential holiday delivery delays to what he deemed Amazon’s “insatiable greed.”

At the same time, Starbucks is experiencing a five-day strike with Starbucks Workers United, which represents baristas at 525 locations.

Attempts to contact Starbucks for comment were not immediately successful.
