Amazon is facing the threat of industrial action by some of its workers over pay. The GMB union said more than 300 employees at an Amazon warehouse in Coventry voted in a consultative ballot that they are prepared to take action.
A formal strike ballot would have to be held before any action is taken. The GMB said it will now meet members to discuss the next steps, including a potential formal strike ballot.
Senior organiser Amanda Gearing said: “Amazon workers are rightly furious and they are ready to walk out. They’re being offered a 35p-an-hour increase during the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation – and that’s from a company worth more than £1 trillion.
