‘Varney & Co.’ Host Stuart Varney argues that the Teamsters union is deliberately harming ordinary people by striking just before Christmas.
During his “My Take” on Thursday, “Varney and company.“Host Stuart Varney talked about launching a national strike against the Teamsters Union against Amazon.
Stuart Varney: The Teamsters union represents about 10,000 Amazon workers. They are on strike.
A warehouse in San Francisco is affected, along with six delivery stations spread across the country.
TEAMSTERS UNION LAUNCHES HISTORIC NATIONAL STRIKE AGAINST AMAZON: ‘PAYING THE PRICE’
The union wants more money for delivery workers. And they accuse Amazon of not showing respect for workers.’

What affects me is the timing of the strike. Just before Christmas. It’s hard to “respect” union members when they inflict maximum pain on Amazon and its customers.
Millions of families look for their gifts in those Amazon boxes. Some will be disappointed. This strike is simply unpleasant.
It is true that a union needs influence. Pressure must be exerted to force the employer to give in and pay.
AMAZON STRIKE: IT WILL AFFECT THE DELIVERY OF YOUR PACKAGES
But delaying Christmas gifts is going too far. We don’t know how effective this attack will be.
If all 10,000 truckers go on strike, it will only be a small fraction of Amazon’s 1.5 million workers worldwide. The effects may be minimal. We’ll see.
Deliberately hurting ordinary people at this particular time of year leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

The union demands respect, but it’s hard to respect anyone who goes out of their way to upset their fellow Americans.
The big picture here is that Amazon is fighting unionization. Management wants to maintain control of the business.
They want to keep the union out. This strike won’t solve that fight, but it will show a union that is willing to interfere with your Christmas. I hope they lose!
