Amazon UK Workers Protest, Vote on Union Recognition in Historic First
Jul 8, 2024, 08:54 AM
Amazon employees across the UK are staging protests and voting on union recognition in a historic move for workers' rights. Protests are taking place outside Amazon warehouses in Carlisle and Coventry, with more than 3,000 workers in Coventry participating in the ballot after 30 days of strike action. This marks the first time Amazon could be forced to recognize a union in the UK, a significant development in British labor history. The GMB union is leading the efforts, with rallies planned outside Amazon's London head office. The union recognition vote is seen as a pivotal battle for fairer working conditions at Amazon, where workers, not Amazon bosses, will now decide on union recognition.
