Nearly 10,000 Amazon workers across the U.S. have gone on strike mere days before Christmas. Organised by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the union is accusing Amazon of failing to negotiate a fair contract with them. In response, Amazon claims that the workers striking aren't actually its employees.

The President-elect was no fan of unions during his first term, though observers suggest he may be more accommodating on labor issues when he returns to office.

Starbucks Workers United told USA TODAY that employees in Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Portland, Oregon also joined picket lines.
