a good salary. They want prevailing wages. They want benefits, health and welfare benefits. Amazon refuses to negotiate with the Teamsters, saying most of those who walked out are not actually Amazon employees, but third-party drivers, making up a small percentage of warehouse staff. So the retail giant says the strike will not disrupt overall holiday shipping for Amazon.

There is a rebound on Wall Street from yesterday's massive sell-off. The Dow rising 214 points following an 1,100-point plunge.

The president-elect is also expected to pull the U.S. out of the 2015 Paris Agreement, as he did during his first term.
