In Britain, some 900 Amazon warehouse workers in the city of Coventry are on a three-day strike coinciding with Amazon Prime Day, which runs Tuesday and Wednesday this week. The workers are fighting for fair wages, humane working conditions and recognition of their union. Amazon workers in Germany are also striking this week.
Amazon worker: “We are in solidarity with the Writers Guild, from Amazon in the United States, with your fight. Your fight is our fight. We are in solidarity with the Amazon workers in Coventry who are in strike these days. We are a worldwide movement. We are fighting for better conditions, for more money, on Amazon worldwide.”
Here in the U.S., dozens of delivery drivers contracted by Amazon in Southern California have been on strike since late June to protest unsafe working conditions amid extreme heat.
