GMB union says online retailer’s planned wage rise is little comfort to staff facing ‘poverty pay’
More than 1,000 Amazon workers at the online retailer’s Coventry warehouse are to go on strike for four days next month, including on the busy Black Friday sales day.
The action was announced as the GMB union said the company “must urgently reconsider its priorities”, denouncing a planned pay rise for UK workers announced this week as “little comfort to the thousands of Amazon workers facing poverty pay, unsafe working conditions and workplace surveillance”.
