Some Chicago residents are voicing their frustration that Amazon has not delivered on opening its new distribution center in West Humboldt Park.
Yvette McCallum, who is unemployed, hoped she'd be working at the Amazon Distribution Center by now after the e-commerce giant built a massive facility down the street from her home.
"We want jobs, not charity. We are not here to sell out our community," said Edie Jacobs, executive director of Get to Work. The plan to put the warehouse opening on hold comes as Amazon trims its workforce and delays, cancels or closes dozens of fulfillment centers to offset declines.
