The e-commerce giant deflected, in response. “Whether the Teamsters are being intentionally misleading or they just don’t understand our business, the narrative they’re spreading is false. This group of individuals do not work for Amazon,” company spokesperson Eileen Hards sent in an emailed statement.

This situation is more about an outside company trying to distract from their history of failing to meet their obligations.

He said that his workers have delivered Amazon packages in every weather from snow to 113 degree heat, and still gotten the job done. Today, he said, Battle-Tested Strategies employees, contracted by Amazon, were out delivering Amazon packages.
