Amazon warehouse workers in Germany to go on 3-day strike on ‘Black Friday’

As many as seven German Amazon warehouse workers will go on a three-day strike called by trade union Verdi. The three-day strike will coincide with “Black Friday” discount shopping sales on 27 November.

Scheduled to begin with Wednesday’s night shift, Verdi is demanding better pay and working conditions, reports news agency Reuters.

Verdi, which argues that workers are not sufficiently protected against the spread of the coronavirus, has been organising strikes at Amazon in Germany, the firm’s biggest market after the US, since 2013, most recently last month during its “Prime Day” promotional event, the report added.
