GMB, the union for Amazon workers, has responded to the company’s announcement today it will increase the minimum starting pay for workers.
GMB members at Amazon Coventry have taken almost 40 days of strike action in their fight for £15 per hour and union recognition.
Rachel Fagan, GMB Organiser, said:
“This is too little, too late from Amazon bosses who have been forced to act by worker’s industrial action.
“Amazon’s reputation is in the gutter over its treatment of its own workers, and now company bosses are trying to plaster over the facts.
“Unsafe working conditions, low pay and excessive surveillance blight the lives of Amazon workers every single day”.
