Less than a week before Christmas, Amazon and Starbucks employees are striking as their respective companies refuse to meet union demands.

The Amazon delivery driver strike is nearing its sixth day during the busiest time of the year for last-minute holiday deliveries. The goal is to get Amazon to sit down with the teamsters to negotiate a new contract.

Thousands of workers from Amazon and Starbucks are currently striking this holiday season, as they seek to leverage the increased consumer traffic to demand better working conditions and higher wages.
