Board backs Teamsters' organizing effort at Amazon DCK6; Supervisor Cheryl recuses
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution supporting Teamsters organizing at the DCK6 Amazon warehouse in the Bayview after outdoor demonstrations; Supervisor Cheryl recused and the resolution passed with 10 ayes and one excused.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Dec. 16 adopted a resolution expressing support for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and workers at Amazon's DCK6 warehouse seeking recognition and bargaining.
Board President Mandelmann described the visible organizing campaign and thanked Teamsters and Amazon workers for their advocacy. "San Francisco is a union town," Mandelmann said during remarks in support of the resolution.
Supervisor Cheryl announced a city-attorney-recommended recusal on the matter and left the dais for the vote; the board excused her prior to the roll call. The clerk recorded 10 ayes with one supervisor excused and the resolution was adopted without objection.
Why this matters: The resolution signals formal support from San Francisco's legislative body for a local union drive at a major private employer, reflecting the city's pro-labor stance and adding political pressure in an ongoing labor-management dispute.
Next steps: The resolution is advisory; it does not change labor-law procedure or NLRB jurisdiction. Supervisors and union representatives said they would continue outreach and follow available legal processes for recognition and bargaining.
