Full story: Hundreds join Amazon picket line for Black Friday strike
Hundreds of strikers outside Amazon’s Coventry warehouse were joined on Black Friday by trade unionists from Europe and the US as part of a global campaign calling for better working conditions at the internet retailer.
Wearing orange beanie hats branded with the GMB union logo, activists from Germany, Italy and California, on strike at their respective Amazon workplaces, expressed solidarity with the Coventry strikers, who have taken 28 days of industrial action since January.
Gathered on a grassy roundabout close to the vast warehouse in the chilly early morning air, scores of the activists from the Make Amazon Pay campaign joined in chants of: “What do we want? £15! When do we want it? Now!”
