YEAH, WELL, MARIA, THE COMPANY TELLS US THAT DESPITE THIS STRIKE, IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM. IT SAYS MAKING HOLIDAY DELIVERIES ON TIME. IN FACT, AT THIS FACILITY IN NORWOOD, WE SAW VANS COMING AND GOING. IT SEEMED LIKE BUSINESS AS USUAL IN OTHER PLACES OF THE COUNTRY. THE STRIKERS WERE HARD TO MISS.

AMAZON OFFICIALS SAY MANY OF THE STRIKING DRIVERS DO NOT EVEN WORK FOR THEM DIRECTLY, BUT RATHER FOR THIRD PARTY CONTRACTORS. THE COMPANY SAYS THE STRIKERS REPRESENT A TINY FRACTION OF THEIR 800,000 WORKERS IN THE U.S. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, AMAZON INSISTS HOLIDAY DELIVERIES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. BUT ONE EXPERT SAYS THE TIMING OF THE STRIKE IS NO ACCIDENT. TYPICALLY, I THINK THAT UNIONS ARE WELL SERVED BY FINDING OPPORTUNE MOMENTS WHERE THEY CAN PUT A CRUNCH AGAINST THE COMPANY ITSELF. TONIGHT, THE TEAMSTERS HAVE NOT SAID HOW MANY STRIKERS ARE INVOLVED IN THIS WORK ACTION, NOR HOW LONG THE STRIK
