Amazon Workers Plan Prime Day Strike at Minnesota Warehouse
Amazon warehouse employees in Minnesota are planning a Prime Day strike. The plan to strike endures, despite Amazon’s promise to raise wages to a minimum of $15 per hour for all employees. Prime Day and Black Friday strikes have been common in Amazon warehouses abroad, however, a major shopping day strike has not yet occurred in the U.S. Organizers have stated that Amazon has failed to satisfy worker demands, and Amazon has declined requests for comments on this issue.
