00:00It's Benzinga, bringing Wall Street to Main Street.
00:02The federal government moved to settle a case against Amazon over its treatment of delivery
00:06drivers employed by contractor Battle-Tested Strategies in Palmdale, California, according
00:11to Bloomberg. Since 2024, the National Labor Relations Board had argued Amazon was a joint
00:16employer with control over the drivers and was required to bargain with the Teamsters.
00:20Amazon denied wrongdoing and challenged subpoenas as a fishing expedition. A proposed settlement
00:24sent Sunday would provide two weeks' pay to up to 84 workers without an admission of liability
00:29or a joint employer finding. If approved, the settlement would end a major case that could
00:33have led to rulings that Amazon was the joint employer of some delivery drivers. Amazon works
00:37with thousands of delivery partners that manage hundreds of thousands of drivers.
