The International Brotherhood of Teamsters said workers at seven Amazon facilities will begin a strike on Thursday morning, an effort by the union to pressure the e-commerce company for a labor agreement during a key shopping period.

Thousands of Amazon workers plan to walk off the job starting Thursday morning in the crucial final days before Christmas, after union officials said the retailer failed to come to the bargaining table.

The Teamsters union is launching a strike against Amazon at locations across the country, including in Maspeth, Queens.
