In this episode, Seth discusses with his guests the two lawsuits brought by New Jersey’s Attorney General Matthew Platkin that allege Amazon has broken the laws protecting its workers, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters' efforts to organize Amazon delivery drivers and others. Most importantly, they will discuss the intersection of New Jersey’s lawsuits against Amazon with the Teamsters’ efforts to organize Amazon.
