Skokie

Workers at Southern California warehouses DAX5 in City of Industry and DAX8 in Palmdale, as well as other warehouses in New York City, Atlanta and Skokie, Ill., have sought union recognition from the company.

Over the summer, drivers in Skokie, Ill., went public with plans to join the Teamsters, demanding Amazon recognize their union.

The idea of a Nazi gathering in Skokie, a suburb of Chicago, was like “being put back into the concentration camp,” Mr. Stern told a local television station at the time.

The possibility of the rally preoccupied Skokie for a year and led to a First Amendment confrontation between the village and the Chicago chapter of the National Socialist Party of America, a neo-Nazi group, which was defended by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Mr. Stern became an activist, inspired in part by his disagreement with Lawrence Montrose, his beloved rabbi at Skokie Central Congregation.
