Capping Off a Year of Labor Action at Amazon, Warehouse Workers Walk Off the Job in Illinois

For the first time, Amazon is experiencing a multi-site U.S. work stoppage. It comes at the end of a year marked by union organizing and labor militancy at the retail giant.

Rep. Jesús ​"Chuy" García (D‑Il.), whose district includes Gage Park, also expressed support for the walkouts, tweeting, ​"Let's stand with courageous workers from Amazonians United Chicagoland fighting for better wages and working conditions! It's time for Jeff Bezos and Amazon to pay their fair share!"
