‘Save EMR’: Scrapyard workers rally in Camden after mayor calls for recycler to close
Approximately 100 workers from European Metal Recycling (EMR) in Camden rallied at City Hall to protest officials' calls for the company to shut down, citing job security concerns. The company faces criticism over repeated fires at its facilities, including a recent incident that caused elevated pollution levels and prompted evacuations. Camden officials plan to revoke one of EMR's business licenses.
