"If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed. We gave Amazon a clear deadline to come to the table and do right by our members. They ignored it,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “These greedy executives had every chance to show decency and respect for the people who make their obscene profits possible. Instead, they’ve pushed workers to the limit and now they’re paying the price. This strike is on them.”

chance to show decency and respect
When you have some, then you can show some...
The problem for them is those aren't things you can buy.
I imagine Amazon figured people would blame the workers when they ignored the deadline, and they probably weren't banking on what feels like a small swing in the favor of the little guy since Luigi Mangione did what he did.
What do you mean? Luigi was with me that day and time, I have receipts to prove it
Amazon has been hurting their workers long enough.
And lying about it.
Woo! Go get them teamsters! Amazon is insanely greedy and terrible all around, get what you're owed!
