Amazon’s Prime Day : Workers hold protests, demand for improved working conditions

Amazon workers walked out of a main distribution center in Minnesota on Monday, demanding for improved working conditions during the e-commerce titan’s major “Prime” shopping event.

Amazon workers picketed outside the facility, briefly delaying a few trucks and waving signs with messages along the lines of “We’re human, not robots.”

“We know Prime Day is a big day for Amazon, so we hope this strike will help executives understand how serious we are about wanting real change that will uplift the workers in Amazon’s warehouses,” striker Safiyo Mohamed said in a release.
