Thousands of Amazon workers in Germany will participate in a walkout tomorrow, joining their counterparts in Spain and Poland who are disrupting one of the company’s most important days of the year: Amazon Prime Day. The workers are represented by Verdi services union, who is calling for contracts that guarantee safe working conditions for employees at fulfillment centers. Amazon says they only expect a fraction of their German workers to participate, about 12,000, and that the strike will not affect Prime Day deliveries. Germany is one of Amazon’s largest markets, second only to the U.S.
