the general president, sean o'brien, did an interview recently where he talked actively about the strike. so it is definitely surprising. however, the reality is, as i mentioned, gerri, amazon has been firm that they had no intention to meet with the teamsters and according to them, there would be no delay in packages so that was the stronghold that teamsters had but if amazon was able to move resources around so that there weren't delays, the strength of the strike probably wasn't punching as hard as the teamsters were hoping. we're close to christmas. these workers do have families as well. so we'll see. gerri: we're all waiting for our amazon packages, that's for darn sure. madison, thank you for your great reporting. really appreciate it. adam, what do you make of this? these folks are not even employed by amazon and yet they're trying to stop the company from operating. >> that's part of the issue. the teamsters are trying to get into amazon and one way to do that is to shut down amazon to the extent they can as contract workers but i'm actually happy to see the strike's not happeni
