Germany: Amazon workers strike in call for higher wages & better working conditions

"Germany: Amazon workers strike in call for higher wages", 29 March 2021

Amazon workers in Germany went on strike at locations nationwide following a call from service trade union Verdi. The four-day strike was planned for late Sunday, with workers demanding the e-commerce giant raise wages...

"Amazon is making a mint in the coronavirus crisis. For this reason alone, wage evasion must be stopped there," Verdi representative Orhan Akman said...

Akman has accused Amazon of not adhering to social distancing guidelines which are intended to keep employees safe from infection. The company has rejected the accusation, and said it has taken additional measures to protect workers. 

"These include increased cleaning and disinfection intervals, temperature measurement when entering buildings, mandatory masks, 2-metre distance rules and staggered shift and break times," Amazon said in a statement Sunday evening. 

Amazon locations in Germany have been targeted by union-led strikes since 2013. Amazon workers in Italy organized a strike last week, with labor representatives calling on the company to share its profits with workers.

The strike comes after the company announced Friday it would hire 5,000 new employees in Germany this year...

Germany is Amazon's second-biggest market behind the United States, where the company is headquartered. The e-commerce giant was founded in 1994 by Seattle-based entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, who has now become the world's richest person, according to US business magazine Forbes.

In addition to strikes in Germany and Italy, Amazon is also dealing with a possible backlash from workers in the United States. 

Amazon workers in a Bessemer, Alabama warehouse will finish voting Monday on whether to unionize. The results will determine whether Bessemer workers will establish the first US labor union in Amazon's 27-year-long history.
