Teamsters President Sean O'Brien said Amazon is his union's biggest opponent and a "white-collar crime syndicate." O'Brien cast the fight against the e-commerce giant over the past few years as critical for the Teamsters in a wide-ranging interview with the Washington Examiner in his office near Capitol Hill. O'Brien, who was born and raised in Massachusetts in a family of Teamsters, mentioned a story from the Boston Globe that just over 2,400 Amazon employees are recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, which he sees as evidence of the corporation not doing enough for their workers. "And when you look at Amazon, a tycoon — I call them a white-collar crime syndicate, a corporate white-collar crime syndicate — in Massachusetts alone, like 2,400 of their employees are on SNAP benefits, right?" O'Brien said. "And that's a f***ing embarrassment."
