More than 1,000 workers at an Amazon warehouse in Britain will strike for four days next month, including on the typically busy Black Friday shopping day, the GMB trade union said on Tuesday.
I work warehouse. So firstly, solidarity with these guys.
…I had a colleague complaining about these guys when they were on strike a few months back. He couldn’t comprehend that if these guys get some concessions back from Amazon, that it improves things for the rest of us.
Suddenly maybe taking the Amazon warehouse job makes sense, maybe my current employer finds it harder to get staff…maybe they then have to also improve working conditions for their staff.

That’s the hope - it gets a foot in the door for everyone else. I wish them luck.
