Members of the GMB union on the picket line outside the Amazon fulfilment centre in Coventry, November 7, 2023
AMAZON faces its biggest ever strike on Black Friday as more than 1,000 workers at the retail giant’s Coventry warehouse are set to join an international walkout, the GMB union has said.
Workers demanding a £15 basic hourly rate will stage their 28th day of action in the dispute while counterparts also strike across Europe and the United States.
GMB organiser Amanda Gearing said: “It’s clear that Coventry workers are inspiring Amazon workers worldwide to fight for their share of company profits.”
