The West Humboldt Park Community Coalition is calling for Amazon to start wages at $28.50 per hour and ensure that 60% of employees at a new facility near Kostner and Division live in the community.
West Humboldt Park residents are calling on their elected leaders to stop accepting donations from Amazon, saying it is hindering their ability to negotiate a community benefits agreement with the e-commerce giant.
“We are demanding all elected officials and non-profits to stop taking money from Amazon and return received money,” said Howard Ray, of the West Humboldt Park Community Coalition. “Stop capitalizing off the people and support West Humboldt Park in their fight to broker a CBA.”
