Amazon Workers Plan Global Strike

Amazon workers in over 20 countries, including the U.S., are staging a coordinated strike between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This fifth annual strike, organized by UNI Global Union and Progressive International, demands better pay, improved working conditions, and accountability for alleged labor abuses and environmental issues. Amazon disputes these claims, asserting it offers competitive pay and benefits. The strike's impact and the number of participating workers remain unclear, though organizers anticipate significant participation across various locations. The action aims to pressure Amazon into addressing worker concerns globally.
