And, you know, I think it's important to have a variety of entertainment lawyers um on talking because it's really there are so many different types of entertainment lawyers and we all do slightly slightly different businesses you know i mean the prominent distinction be between you know litigators those who go to court those who sue people argue in front of a judge or jury you know those are very particular types of entertainment lawyers versus myself.
Joshua LastineGUEST
And I think more aligned with probably some of your previous guests are transactional lawyers, you know, handling the strictly the contracts, the financing deals, the option purchase acquisition agreements, crew deals above the line, below the line, you know, VFX and vendors, um, um that's more so of what what i handle but like you know at any given studio you know your warner brothers your disney your paramount well i guess paramount is warner brothers but you know within the confines of those larger corporations every single department has their own set of entertainment lawyers um some specialize in labor and guild issues you know handling strictly the DGA, SAG, WGA, IATSE, Teamsters.

BTS had been an Amazon DSP since October 2019.
speaker_0HOST
In April 2023, its drivers organised with the Teamsters and on April 14th, 2023, Amazon informed BTS that its contract was being terminated, effective in June.
speaker_0HOST
The union's read was blunt.
speaker_0HOST
Amazon effectively fired the drivers for organising.
speaker_0HOST
And the union's evidence writes itself, Amazon insists its DSP drivers aren't its employees.
speaker_0HOST
but they deliver Amazon packages in Amazon trucks, wearing Amazon attire, and their work is tightly controlled by the company, which determines daily routes, the number of deliveries, and the deadlines communicated directly to drivers through an app.

In September 2024, an NLRB regional office issued a formal complaint affirming Amazon was a joint employer and charging it with dozens of unfair labour practices, and pointedly noted that the finding sets the stage for the nearly 280,000 Amazon DSP drivers nationwide to organise with the Teamsters.
