(CNN) — Black Friday kicks off one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year, but it could be a bumpy ride for Amazon, which faces a global strike.

Amazon workers on six continents are planning strikes and protests from Friday through Cyber Monday.

The strike involves workers in more than 20 countries, including the United States, Germany, India and Japan.

Employees and supporters want Amazon to improve fair pay, working conditions and climate responsibility.

This is the fifth year of the “Make Amazon Pay” campaign.
