Amazon’s announced closure of a Shakopee facility is an act of retaliation

We believe that Amazon’s decision to close this facility is wrong and retaliatory based on the powerful efforts of workers who have been organizing with the Awood Center and demanding better working conditions, particularly through their advocacy for the warehouse safety bill in the Minnesota Legislature. Amazon strongly opposed the warehouse safety bill last session, and it is now on the verge of passing.

We stand with Amazon workers and will continue to support their fight for better working conditions! We are calling on Amazon to refrain from closing the facility, and if the closure moves forward, we demand that Amazon transfer workers to nearby Amazon warehouses so they can keep their jobs.
