The union estimates more than 1,300 workers were affected by closures of shops complainants say were shut down with no warning between September 2023 and October 2025. The Teamsters also identified cases where the e-commerce giant’s subcontractors allegedly sent layoff notices after the layoff or closure date.
“It was devastating. I was looking forward to going back in and making next week’s paycheck,” Latrice Johnson, a single mother who said she was laid off as a delivery driver last August, told The City Reporter. “You call me a top driver two months ago, and now you’re giving me the boot?”
