Another worker protest held at an Amazon Minnesota warehouse

Amazon continues to struggle with worker discontent in the Minneapolis area.

A group of Amazon employees protested outside the Eagan, Minnesota, warehouse Thursday morning, according to both Workday Minnesota, a labor publication, and Gizmodo.

While past protests have focused on allegedly poor workplace conditions, the Eagan protest was to raise concerns about a lack of parking at the warehouse.

This is an issue because these workers' cars can be towed and fined at a cost of hundreds of dollars for being double-parked, according to Gizmodo.

The protest comes less than a month after workers at a nearby Shakopee warehouse held a protest during Prime Day to push for safer conditions and a less-grueling pace of work.

Now, the Minneapolis area has become a central area for Amazon worker activism, aided by the Awood Center, a local advocacy group that's been helping organize these protests.
