I was wondering why they didn't discuss this on the news last last night but apparently only a few facilities are striking (how kind of them to do this just when people are looking forward to sending and receiving Christmas gifts) Apparently some NYC locations are affected as well as Skokie Illinois and Atlanta Georgia. Glad I don't live round those areas I don't know what it means if your packages go through those areas though It's a bit scary..but glad I sent the majority of Amazon gifts early.

I hadn't heard. Not a good time for them to go on strike.

Not at all, however, I think by doing it now Amazon will be desperate to resolve it.

@snowy22315 I'm sure they will. I would imagine it's their busiest season.

I am sure they feel they need better working conditions and a pay increase.

I heard it on the news here - but I think it was just in NYC at the time. I would not be surprised if many other locations did the same - although I know they had strikes here in the past year.

Yes, other locations have done the same I have two more items to be delivered thru Amazon. I know one will be late, but the other should be before Christmas hopefully.

I haven't heard about this news. Hopefully this can be solved soon. Or there will be many disappointment since people sending Christmas gifts to each other at this moment.

That is good you already send your Amazon gifts. Bad time for them to go on strike.

Airlines tend to go on strike at the most inconvenient times too.
