Cfmk Florida works to bring back tourism to its Gulf Coast following hurricanes Helene and Milton AP Business WriterProsecutors at a federal labor agency have determined that Amazon is a joint employer of subcontracted drivers who delivered packages for the company in California, pushing back on claims from the online retailer that they are not its employees. The decision, made by a regional director for the National Labor Relations Board in Los Angeles, came after the agency investigated unfair labor practice charges filed against the company by the Teamsters union. The prominent labor group represents UPS drivers and has been seeking to unionize Amazon drivers. However, it has encountered challenges, most notably because the company doesnt directly employ drivers but relies on thousands of third-party businesses that deliver millions of customer packages every day. Currently, over 275,000 drivers are employed with these businesses, which are called Delivery Service Partners, or DSPs. The Teamsters and other labor advocates have long said Amazon exercises great control over the drivers including by determining their routes, setting delivery targets and monitoring their performances and should be classified as a joint employer. Last year, the Teamsters said they unionized dozens of drivers who work for one DSP in Palmdale, California called Battle Tested Strate <a href=Link usa</a> gies.

The new research also found that 1.87 billion people, roughly a quarter of the Earth population, live in areas requiring conservation attention, mostly in developing countries in Africa, Central America and Asia.Climate scientists and environmental groups are urging governments and corporations to do more to protect the plane | |
