Drivers at DGT8 in Atlanta Join Union Organizing Wave with Teamsters Nationwide

ATLANTA, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Amazon drivers at the company’s DGT8 facility in Atlanta have formed a union with the Teamsters and demanded union recognition with a “March on the Boss” held early this morning. The Atlanta drivers are building on what is a massive organizing wave within Amazon, joining hundreds of drivers from Illinois, New York, and California in forming a union with the Teamsters to take on the e-commerce giant.

Today’s announcement comes as Amazon associates brace for the holiday peak season and workers are pushed to their limits to meet skyrocketing demand. The drivers from DGT8 are fighting for better pay, safe working conditions, and a voice on the job. Many workers are denied basic benefits.

“Amazon workers deserve so much more from a company that makes billions of dollars in profits every year,” said Trent Knight, an Amazon Teamster at DGT8. “Many of us can barely afford to pay our bills and make rent each month, yet we’re the reason Amazon is one of the most profitable companies in the world. With this union, we’re taking a step to finally get the pay, benefits, and respect we deserve.” 

The organizing wave unfolding at Amazon is unprecedented as Amazon workers across five facilities coast-to-coast have joined the Teamsters in recent months. Since September, warehouse workers in San Francisco and delivery drivers in Queens, Victorville, and City of Industry have all formed unions with the Teamsters and demanded recognition. Meanwhile, workers at the company’s largest air hubs in Kentucky and California have walked off the job in protest of the company’s unfair labor practices. In June, Amazon Labor Union members at JFK8 in Staten Island voted to affiliate with the Teamsters by a near unanimous 98.3 percent in favor. The growing momentum is inspiring more Amazon workers to join the thousands already part of the union.

“Amazon cannot continue to get away with paying us poverty wages while they earn more in profits year after year,” said Aaron Nipper, an Amazon Teamster at DGT8. “We’re tired of the disrespect and not being able to afford basic living expenses to keep a roof over our heads and feed our families. Enough is enough — we’re proud to join the Amazon Teamsters and we’re going to fight for what we deserve.”

Amazon wields absolute control over the terms and conditions of employment for its delivery drivers through its Delivery Service Partner (DSP) program, yet the company has argued that it does not employ the workers. In August, Amazon drivers in Palmdale, Calif., secured a monumental victory when National Labor Relations Board Region 31 made a determination that Amazon is a joint employer of its drivers, and therefore has a legal duty to recognize and bargain with the Teamsters. This joint employer determination sets a major precedent and is applicable to Amazon drivers who work under similar conditions nationwide, including the Atlanta DGT8 drivers.

MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving to be one of the most transformative technological revolutions since the advent of the internet. Unlike paradigm shifts in technology of the past, the present AI boom is largely driven by existing software instead of new innovations, with AI practitioners seeking to seamlessly integrating AI into existing applications to immediately unlock industrial and commercial value for the user.

At the core of AI adoption lies a decentralized approach, which encourages users and developers to create tailored solutions based on specific needs, thus fostering a self-sustaining ecosystem. In the recruitment field, Bossjob is pioneering yet another new application of AI, this time into job descriptions.

On November 27, Bossjob, a global AI-driven recruitment platform, unveiled its AI translation feature with the goal of ensuring all jobs, in whichever language they are posted, are easily understandable by the jobseeker in their native language.

“In the field of recruitment, globalization in the marketplace for talent faces a primary challenge: language differences between different operating regions, especially for one as fragmented and diverse as South East Asia. As a global AI recruitment platform, Bossjob is consistantly looking out for ways to bridge essential but difficult divides like these.” stated Quak Kiat How, CFO of Bossjob.

Globalization Requires Overcoming the Digital Divide

As global economic integration and technological innovation advance, more businesses are venturing into international markets. In 2024, numerous Chinese enterprises embarked on the vessel of global expansion, while native globalized companies continue accelerating their international efforts.

However, these disparities in access to information, internet technologies, and innovation capabilities between countries, regions, industries, companies, and communities have exacerbated the digital divide, leading to further polarization of wealth and opportunities. These gaps reflect not just technological limitations but also deep-rooted socioeconomic challenges, underscoring the pressing need for inclusive solutions.

Cultural differences such as language, religion, values, and business practices further complicate overseas expansion. Many HR professionals have reported that existing recruitment platforms primarily focus on matching resumes with job descriptions on a single dimension, overlooking critical variables such as language nuances and the implicit requirements within job postings.

Kiat highlighted that traditional model of recruitment platforms no longer meet the demands of a new generation, and the recruitment industry is poised for a transformative shift in service models.

AI: Redefining Recruitment Efficiency and Experience

At its core, recruitment addresses the need for matching people with jobs. Precision and efficiency are the cornerstones of value for both businesses and job seekers. With the application of AI, the recruitment process is being reimagined, introducing profound changes to hiring and job-hunting practices.

Kiat believes that, the traditional cycle of resume submissions and screenings may soon become obsolete. By allowing AI access to more comprehensive data, platforms can generate multidimensional profiles reflecting a candidate’s skills, career history, and potential, eliminating the need for manual resume creation. Similarly, AI-generated job and candidate models can streamline initial screenings, allowing recruiters and applicants to engage directly at advanced stages of the hiring process.

Bossjob is leveraging AI to continually enhance its services. For instance, the newly launched AI translation tool eliminates language barriers in recruitment, enabling seamless communication and efficient processes. The platform’s real-time, precise translations prevent delays and miscommunication, particularly for remote roles. Users can easily toggle between translated and original job descriptions for clarity.

Beyond translation, Bossjob has introduced AI-powered resume analysis, enabling HR teams to evaluate candidates’ compatibility with company cultures using big data insights. These tools have simplified workflows and significantly improved matching efficiency.

Exploring New Frontiers with AI

Bossjob’s AI-driven innovations extend beyond traditional recruitment, addressing emerging domains like Web3 and remote work. Official data reveals a tenfold increase in daily active users on the platform’s Web3 job listings, with employer activity rising by 20% since January. This trend underscores the untapped market potential unlocked by AI-powered solutions.

Since its inception, Bossjob has pioneered AI applications in recruitment through its “Mobile + Direct Chat + AI Scenario-based Features” (MDD) model. This approach integrates real-time messaging into recruitment workflows, leveraging advanced algorithms and big data to recommend highly compatible candidates to employers and personalized job matches to seekers. This precision matching reduces hiring costs for businesses while accelerating job seekers’ success rates.

Committed to continuous innovation, Bossjob has significantly invested in R&D to enhance its AI capabilities, building robust user trust and product credibility. Looking ahead, the platform plans to roll out additional features, including AI-simulated interviews, to meet diverse global recruitment needs.

Kiat stated, “We hope to continuously upgrade AI features and build an AI ecosystem that offers more efficient and intelligent recruitment services for companies while providing job seekers with more convenient and effective job search assistance, driving the global talent market’s growth.”
