GMB union members at Amazon’s Coventry fulfilment centre are today marking their tenth day of strike action at the site, in the ongoing dispute with the retail giant.
Workers in Coventry are campaigning for £15 an hour, after Amazon made an offer of less than 50p to workers.
GMB have announced that over 600 Amazon workers in Coventry have joined the union as strike ballots take place at five further Amazon depots [1].
Amanda Gearing, GMB Senior Organiser, said:
“Today is an historic day in an historic campaign.
“Amazon said it would never happen, and that only a tiny number would join industrial action over their pay rise of pennies.
“Today GMB union reaches 600 members at the Coventry site, with more joining every day.
“Morale on the picket line is sky high and these workers aren’t giving up until they get the pay justice they deserve.”
