Wicked Local
“We demand area standards, and we will not sit idle when this bad actor comes to North Andover Amazon,” Tom Mari of the Teamsters Local 25 said over cheers and horns from passing cars along Route 125.
The nationwide war between labor and Amazon saw battle in the Merrimack Valley’s back yard Monday afternoon, as crowds of union workers and their supporters gathered in front of the future Amazon distribution center in North Andover to protest what they say are labor abuses by the e-commerce behemoth.
“We represent thousands of members at UPS and DHL Express, where they receive a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work, great health benefits, and a pension that they can retire on and have the same standard of life they had when they were working,” Mari said. “Amazon is the exact opposite.”
