Amazon workers plan to strike between Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday in several countries, including the United States

Amazon workers in more than 20 countries, including the United States, plan to strike during the busy pre-Christmas shopping days between Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday to “make Amazon pay,” strike organizers said Thursday.

The “Days of Resistance” aim to “hold Amazon accountable for (labor) abuses, environmental degradation and threats to democracy,” according to organizers UNI Global Union and Progressive International.

“No matter how much they spend fighting us, companies like Amazon cannot break the power of workers who stand together,” UNI Global Union General Secretary Christy Hoffman said in a statement shared with FOX Business. “In Germany, ver.di has led the charge for over a decade, demanding collective bargaining rights – a struggle that resonates across the globe. From India to the US, the UK to Canada, workers are rising up against exploitation and intimidation by companies. ‘Make Amazon Pay Day’ is a powerful testament to our unity and momentum No company – no matter how wealthy – can remain silent on workers’ demands for justice.

Countries with striking workers include the United States – where employees will strike in “major cities” – Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and Turkey, organizers said.

The striking workers will be supported by various unions, anti-poverty and garment workers’ rights groups and others, according to the UNI Global Union.

Amazon, in a statement to FOX Business, accused the organizers of being “intentionally misleading” and promoting a “false narrative.”

“The fact is, at Amazon, we provide great pay, great benefits and great opportunities — all from day one,” said Amazon spokeswoman Eileen Hards. “We’ve created more than 1.5 million jobs around the world and counting, and we offer a modern, safe and engaging workplace, whether you work in an office or in one of our operational buildings.”

Organizers said this will be their fifth year of strike action against Amazon at the start of the Christmas shopping season.

Specifically in New Delhi, India, the UNI Global Union said hundreds of Amazon workers will “rally to demand fair treatment given Amazon’s mistreatment of workers during a massive heat wave last summer in July.”

“(Jeff) Bezos’s company has spent untold millions to stop workers from organizing, but the strikes and protests happening around the world show that workers’ desire for justice — for union representation — cannot be stopped,” argued Hoffman. “We stand united in demanding that Amazon treat its workers fairly, respect basic rights, and stop undermining the systems that protect us all. ‘Make Amazon Pay Day’ is becoming a global act of resistance against Amazon’s abuse of power.” “

It is not clear how many workers in the United States or abroad plan to go on strike.
