> To its credit, the owner of the DSP, Battle-Tested Strategies (BTS), voluntarily recognized the union and signed the collective bargaining agreement almost immediately.

> The problem? Amazon did not.

The headline is misleading and doesn't make it clear the workers don't directly work for Amazon. They work for Battle-Tested Strategies

That's the point in question:

> The union’s next step is proving that wrong. Amazon, it says, is a joint employer of the drivers, and in full control of the conditions that caused them to organize—low pay, unsafe heat conditions, and extreme performance requirements—despite the fact that it places those responsibilities on the DSP.
