Less than 10 days before Christmas and Hanukkah, retail giant Amazon could be facing another worker strike.
The Teamsters union said it gave Amazon until Sunday, Dec. 15, to agree to bargaining dates for a union contract.
But with no agreement in place, it could mean thousands of delivery drivers and warehouse workers at two New York City facilities ready to walk off the job.
In November, Amazon warehouse workers around the world walked off the job on Black Friday through Cyber Monday.
