Indy Week: “Dozens of Amazon workers staged a protest for better working conditions outside a sprawling distribution center in Garner early this morning, with delivery trucks braking at the picket line to delay Cyber Monday shipments in a show of solidarity.
The demonstration came at the onset of a hellish season for Amazon workers, who endure mandatory 60-hour work weeks between Black Friday and Christmas. Employees of warehouses like the one in Garner will make menial wages and receive no holiday bonuses as they box thousands of packages and trek upwards of ten miles each day while loading trucks.”
