The Teamsters are Battling Amazon, Sort of

The New York Times has a story about why the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, among several labor unions, has filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission for the FTC to investigate Amazon’s business practices.

“The petition asks the F.T.C. to use its broad powers to gather nonpublic information about a company’s or industry’s effects on commerce. In a 28-page document with 149 footnotes, the unions lay out areas they think the F.T.C. should explore, including whether Amazon requires companies to use more of its services to succeed on its marketplace.”
