teepan95 11/26/20 1:31:20 AM #1:	https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-blackfriday-germany/amazon-workers-in-germany-to-go-on-strike-on-black-friday-idUSKBN2853B9 FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Trade union Verdi called on workers at seven German Amazon warehouses to go on a three-day strike that will coincide with Black Friday discount shopping sales on Nov. 27. Scheduled to begin with Wednesdays night shift, Verdi is demanding better pay and working conditions. Verdi has been organising strikes at Amazon in Germany - the companys biggest market after the United States - since 2013, most recently last month during its Prime Day promotional event. An Amazon spokesman said at the time that the company offered excellent salaries, with benefits and working conditions comparable with other important employers. The U.S. retail giant has seen sales soar globally as restrictions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus sent consumers online, making it difficult for some bricks-and-mortar shops to compete. Verdi argues this has strengthened the case for higher wages, adding workers were not sufficiently protected against the spread of the coronavirus. Last week, Amazon bowed to government pressure in France to postpone its local Black Friday event by a week to help local shopkeepers struggling with a nationwide lockdown.

MrToothHasYou 11/26/20 2:06:05 AM #15:	Solid Snake07 posted... I dont know Jack shit about union organizing Well you could have just said so from the beginning, friend! A three day strike is just to demonstrate the unions capability to organize. Lots of union contracts get signed without any strikes, just with threats of one. Now I dont think a company as big as Amazon is ever going to buckle to threats of pressure immediately, but a short strike doesnt just send a message to the bosses, it also sends a message to the workers that the union is in fact capable of organizing and it builds solidarity and trust among the rank and file. Also remember that most larger labor unions have strike funds they use to support striking workers and replace lost wages, etc. from striking. By targeting important business days with smaller strikes the union can impact Amazons bottom line while also preserving their own resources for other direct action they may need to take. A strike is just one tool in the toolbox, and it has many functions. --- An Injury to One is an Injury to All https://iww.org/ <cite>MrToothHasYou posted [p:947616333] in German Ama...
