Chicago Amazon workers said the company should have made Juneteenth a company holiday.
Chicago Amazon workers are outraged at the company after a warehouse, known as DCH1, served employees chicken and waffles in celebration of Juneteenth.
The facility, known as DCH1, notified employees on Thursday that it's "honoring the Black community by supporting local Black businesses" and would offer employees chicken and waffles on Juneteenth, according to a document obtained by CNBC. The document appears to have been advertised on a TV in the facility's break room.
A Juneteenth flyer appears to have been advertised on a TV in the breakroom of Amazon's Chicago facility, DCH1. "So much for supporting your Black/African American employees," one post read. "Where's the Solidarity in that? We demand a paid holiday, not some damn chicken."
