More than 700 warehouse workers at an Amazon warehouse in England walked out this week in a wage dispute. A raise of 34 pence was offered by Amazon instead of the hourly rate increase that the trade union wanted. Workers at the Tillbury facility went on strike on Wednesday and Thursday, according to the trade union.
One of the most profitable companies on the planet is Amazon, according to Steve Garelick. It's the least they can do with household costs going up.
The Tillbury workers began their strike after Amazon said it wouldn't meet their demands. Workers were told that they would be fired if they left the facility.
The union started campaigning for higher pay and better health standards for Amazon warehouse workers in the UK in 2013. The union at Tillbury is not recognized by Amazon.
Dozens of Amazon workers walked out yesterday due to a payment dispute. The local pay rate average was cited as the reason for the 50p wage increase. The news didn't sit well with the associates and more than 100 people walked out in the canteen as a protest, which affected a lot of customer shipments
