Workers at an Amazon warehouse in Chicago have voiced outrage at the company after the facility offered employees an authentic meal of chicken and waffles in celebration of Juneteenth.

The facility, known as DCH1, notified employees on Thursday that its 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 placed on a TV in the facilitys break room.

In a private online group for Chicago Amazon workers, employees said they were angered and insulted by the racist form of celebration. Others said Amazon could have shown support for Black workers by designating Juneteeth as a paid company holiday.

So much for supporting your Black/African American employees, one post read. Wheres the Solidarity in that? We demand a paid holiday, not some damn chicken.
