Amazon workers protesting over pay dispute, 900 workers on strike which may disturbed the Prime Day sale.
Amazon.com, Inc., a multinational technology corporation based in the United States that specializes in e-commerce, cloud computing, online advertising, digital streaming, and artificial intelligence, is having difficulties in the United Kingdom.
Amazon warehouse workers in the Coventry area staged a three-day protest and strike against management for failing to raise the desired wage scale.
A three-day strike is expected to hamper Amazon’s Prime Day Sale. Following a salary dispute, about 900 workers at a UK warehouse have declared a three-day strike. The strike is scheduled so that two days, July 11 and 12, overlap with the Sale event.
On all three days, work will be boycotted for two hours in the morning and evening. Customers, on the other hand, are unlikely to be impacted in any manner.

Amazon employees in Leipzig, Germany, also went on strike for 48 hours two weeks ago, demanding higher compensation. The corporation, on the other hand, has claimed that it provides one of the greatest environments for its employees, as well as competitive remuneration.
Protests and walkouts have been increasingly common at Amazon in recent years. There was a walkout in May of this year in protest of the return to work. Amazon workers for climate justice (AECJ) and Amazon’s remote advocacy community leaders had called for a walk-out, with about 1,816 employees globally pledging to participate, including 873 in Seattle.
They emphasized the need of giving employees a voice in choices that affect their lives, such as the mandatory return-to-work mandate and the company’s involvement in exacerbating the climate catastrophe.
