Spanish Amazon workers encouraged to strike on cyber Monday

THE WHAT? Spain’s CCOO union, which represents warehouse and delivery workers, is calling on Amazon staff to stage a one-hour protest per shift on November 27, 2023 – otherwise known as cyber Monday.

THE DETAILS Reuters reports that there are three shifts per day at the Amazon facility. The US e-commerce behemoth told the news agency that staff in Spain already work in a ‘safe and modern environment with competitive wages and benefits’.

THE WHY? The workers are hoping to improve pay and conditions. Douglas Harper, Union Secretary General for Amazon, told Reuters, “It is symbolic but it is a first move and we will consider other kinds of actions in the future.”
