Hundreds of Amazon staff at a warehouse in Coventry, central England, have voted to stroll out within the new yr in a dispute over pay, the union representing the employees stated on Friday.
“Amazon workers in Coventry have made history – they will be the first ever in the UK to take part in a formal strike,” GMB Senior Organiser Amanda Gearing stated in an announcement.
The GMB union stated greater than 98% of staff voted in favour of strikes on a turnout of over 63%, including that industrial motion would probably happen within the new yr.
Britain is going through an unprecedented variety of
strikes throughout a number of sectors,
together with ambulance, transport, nurses and well being staff, as staff combating surging inflation demand higher pay and circumstances.
