This is just the start of GMB Union members escalating their campaign for fair pay at Amazon
Amazon workers are ready for a ‘David and Goliath battle’ as they begin day two of the first ever strike the company has faced in the UK.
More than 350 workers at Amazon’s Coventry warehouse are set to walk out today [Tuesday] in anger at a pay rise of just 50 pence.
Amazon workers will also walk out on Thursday [2 March] and for five consecutive days from 13 – 17 March.
Amazon Coventry staff made history on25 January when they became the first in the UK to take strike action.
Stuart Richards, GMB Senior Organiser, said:
“Here in Coventry Amazon workers are again standing on the picket line after one of the world’s most profitable companies has denied them a wage they can live off.
“It’s a David and Goliath battle and our members are determined to make sure it ends with a pay rise they deserve.
“Morale is sky high and the support from local people in Coventry and Amazon workers around the world has been extraordinary.
“This is just the start of GMB members escalating their campaign for fair pay at Amazon.
