On Wednesday, hundreds of Amazon workers at a warehouse in the UK walked out and went on strike to protest their compensation. These workers argue that the pay raise they received last year has been insufficient to mitigate the rising costs of living as inflation has significantly driven up consumer prices in the UK. As a result, the striking workers are demanding another pay raise in order to match the wages offered to Amazon warehouse workers in the US. This labor action is the latest development in the organizing efforts at Amazon, as various efforts have been made by employees in the last year to address workplace conditions and push for greater collective bargaining rights within the company.
