Britain has seen wider industrial unrest over the last two years as employees demand better wage rises to help offset high inflation
warehouse in Coventry, central England, went on strike on Tuesday and plan to do so again on Wednesday as part of a long-running dispute over pay and union recognition, the GMB trade union said.
If the CAC, an independent body with statutory powers, finds that more than half the Amazon workers at Coventry are GMB union members, Amazon would formally have to recognize the union – a first for the company in Europe. The workers walked out of the U.S. retail giant’s Coventry site from 0630 GMT to 0830 GMT and will down tools again between 1730 GMT and 1930 GMT – with plans to repeat the walkout at the same times on Wednesday. Employees at Amazon’s Birmingham office plan strike action on March 27 and 28.
