Over 700 UK Amazon workers walk out over pay issues
More than 700 warehouse workers at an Amazon warehouse in England walked out this week in a dispute over a pay increase,. Amazon did not agree to the hourly rate increase of £2 requested by the trade union representing the employees, instead offering a raise of 34 pence. GMB, the trade union representing the employees at the Tillbury facility , said workers walked out on both Wednesday and Thursday.
“Amazon is one of the most profitable companies on the planet," Steve Garelick, a regional organizer for GMB,Garelick posted video footage of the protesting Tillbury workers, who began their walkout shortly after Amazon delivered the news that it would not meet the union’s demands. Management reportedly"withdrew catering" at the facility, and told workers that they would be terminated if they left the premises.
