GMB union says up to 100 staff at fulfilment centre will take part in stoppage to boost profile of dispute

The GMB says “up to 100” workers will take part in the strike at the warehouse, which opened in October – a small fraction of the total workforce – but it hopes to use the action to boost the profile of the dispute and recruit more supporters.
