	Description:		Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute. Amazon is slowing its roll with expansion in the Chicago area. The company has put plans on hold for two new local warehouses. Amazon says it will not occupy recently built delivery stations in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood and in suburban Addison.

Also, employees of Chicago’s Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum have voted to form a union. Listen for more below:
