Hundreds of drivers at an Amazon facility in Skokie are planning to strike Thursday morning, potentially disrupting holiday deliveries in an effort to get the online retailing giant to recognize their affiliation with the Teamsters union and negotiate a labor contract. The walkout at the Skokie delivery station and six other facilities nationwide is set to begin at 5 a.m., with workers at other Amazon locations “prepared to join them,” the Teamsters said in a news release Wednesday night. “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed,” Teamsters president Sean O’Brien said in the news release.
