BLOOMFIELD, Staten Island employment (WABC) -- More local Amazon workers walked off the job Saturday morning, this time on Staten Island.

Workers at the JFK8 warehouse in Bloomfield joined picket lines in solidarity with workers in Maspeth, Queens and other locations around the country.

It is all part of what the Teamsters union says is the biggest-ever strike against Amazon.

The union said that "momentum continues to mount" as workers seek "fair treatment" from the online retailer.

The action involves thousands of workers who are picketing in four states.

"The Amazon Teamsters movement grows bigger and stronger every day and will not be stopped," the International Brotherhood of Teamsters said in a statement posted on social media late Thursday.

The JFK8 warehouse is the second facility in New York City to join the picket line.

The other Amazon distribution center is in Maspeth, [employment](https://www.smfsimple.com/ultimateportaldemo/index.php?action=profile
