More than 1,000 Amazon jobs open in Baltimore

BALTIMORE —Amazon needs more than 1,000 workers for its new fulfillment center in Baltimore.

City officials said they want to ensure city residents get recruited and get the jobs.

Amazon's new, 1-million-square-foot fulfillment center in southeast Baltimore at the site of the old GM plant on Broening Highway is slated to open in the spring.

For Amazon shoppers in Maryland, the distribution warehouse likely means faster deliveries and maybe even same-day deliveries.

The one in PA has an ambulance that sits in the parking lot during the summer for employees that regularly fall ill to heat stroke.

We will now have to pay sales tax. Glad there are alternatives for most items.

5:41 Maybe YOU do. I have never paid sales tax on any online item. Just have to know where to go, and what to do.

Ever since I found out they and O'malley worked this so that Maryland could start collecting taxes I decided to cancel my prime membership. By the way, they have been collecting sales tax for some time now.
