Strike Season Hits Amazon - Coventry Warehouse Workers In UK Strike Again: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Nabaparna Bhattacharya
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is facing a labor dispute as over 1,000 workers at one of its central England warehouses are on strike over wage disagreements. The strike is expected to continue on the following Wednesday and Thursday, as well as on November 24—Black Friday—a crucial day for Amazon's operations. This follows a year of broader industrial unrest across the U.K., with workers demanding higher wages to cope with inflation. Amazon announced last month that the minimum initial wage would increase by at least one pound per hour, with further increases planned for April next year.
