The New York City Police Department entered into direct confrontation with workers on the picket line at the DBK4 facility in Queens. After hours of workers maintaining a strong picket line, the NYPD broke up the line in order to let Amazon delivery vans through. This was shortly after the NYPD arrested an Amazon delivery driver who attempted to stop his delivery van in support of the striking workers. According to labor journalist Luis Feliz Leon who recorded the actions of the police, “The cops swarmed [the delivery driver], and he was arrested. Workers surrounded the van, and cops flung them off.”
