Amazon Prime Day Sale May Land In Trouble Due To Workers' Boycott Over pay Dispute
The news of 900 workers causing a strike near Amazon's prime day sale at Amazon might have caused accused tensions.
Angry workers have announced a three-day strike following a conflict over pay on 11th and 12the July, coinciding with the sale event. On both days workers won't be working for two hours in the morning and evening time.
Workers at the warehouse in Coventry have been demanding that they be paid £15 per hour, whereas the minimum starting pay at Amazon is £11 to 12 an hour, based on their location.
Two weeks ago, Amazon workers in Germany’s Leipzig had also boycotted work for 48 hours demanding better pay.
Frequent protests and walk-outs have become a common site lately at Amazon.
In May'23, there was a walkout in protest of return-to-work. Amazon employees for climate justice (AECJ) and Amazon’s remote advocacy community leaders had called for a walk-out, with 1,816 employees worldwide and 873 in Seattle pledging to participate.
