Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers across the U.S. have gone on strike mere days before Christmas. Organised by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union is accusing Amazon of failing to negotiate a fair contract with them. In response, Amazon claims that the workers striking aren't actually its employees.

The President-elect was no fan of unions during his first term, though observers suggest he may be more accommodating on labor issues when he returns to office.

Starbucks baristas and Amazon delivery drivers are on strike in handful of U.S. cities as they seek wage increases.
