Labor attorney David Wimmer says the Teamsters are exaggerating claims that Amazon is already considered a joint employer of delivery drivers, calling the union’s messaging “greatly overstating the case” for public relations gain. While the union cites a regional NLRB determination in California, Wimmer stresses that no judge, board, or court has ruled on the issue—meaning Amazon’s joint employer status remains undecided. He warns the Teamsters appear to be leveraging the complaint strategically, hoping a win in California could open the door to similar challenges nationwide.
