Workers describe tens of thousands of packages delayed—and a strong sense of empowerment within warehouses—after Amazon workers with the Teamsters launched the largest strike to date against one of the world's most powerful companies.
Just anecdotally there were a lot of Amazon boxes going around at my family’s Christmas gathering last night and no one mentioned any problems getting stuff on time.
I mean the strike started really close to Christmas, by that point I had already gotten the things I ordered online. If anything the only people this strike would have affected is the last minute people who live near unionized facilities or facilities with good union support.

Kind of sounds like poor planning then if they wanted to maximize the impact of it.
Unfortunately that seems to be the M.O. of todays unions.
