Amazon workers in Minnesota walk off the job over parking issues

Around 80 Amazon warehouse workers in the Twin Cities suburb of Eagan, Minnesota staged a two-hour walkout on Thursday morning.

It's the latest in a series of strikes and protests spearheaded by Amazon workers in the state.

Last month, a few dozen workers at another Amazon facility in Shakopee, Minnesota walked off the job on Prime Day—a massive sale that is one of Amazon's busiest days of the year.

This sometimes blocked Amazon delivery vehicles in the process.

Amazon began towing worker vehicles, fining their owners as much as $350—which could be several days of pay for a part-time warehouse worker.

"We have been working to support the site, including providing onsite parking, offsite parking and shuttles," an Amazon spokesperson told Ars.
