Amazon workers in UK to walk out for the first time over pay dispute
Members of the GMB union based at a Coventry warehouse will stage a walk out on January 25 in a dispute over pay after voting in favour of taking industrial action.
But Amazon has insisted that there will be "zero impact" on customers because of the strike, adding that its normal operations will continue. It pointed out that its Coventry site is not a fulfilment centre that directly services customer orders - it's a centre that provides stock to its UK centres.RMT chief Mick Lynch compares government to 'repressive regimes like China' in LBC phone-inAmanda Gearing, GMB senior organiser, said: "Amazon workers in Coventry are set to make history on January 25, becoming the first ever Amazon workers in the UK to go on strike.
A spokesperson said: "We appreciate the great work our teams do throughout the year and we're proud to offer competitive pay which starts at a minimum of between £10.50 and £11.45 per hour, depending on location."Employees are also offered comprehensive benefits that are worth thousands more-including private medical insurance, life assurance, subsidised meals and an employee discount, to name a few.
