Union to protest at Amazon depot over pay

The  GMB Union w ill be demonstrating outside Amazon’s Swindon depot in solidarity with the strike action taking place in Coventry.

The demonstration is to highlight the pay rise workers have been offered as they head into the busiest time of the year.

More than 1000 Amazon workers are taking strike action in Coventry, some of whom will be joining the demo to talk with fellow workers in Swindon about mobilisation and how to plan strike action.

David McMullen, GMB organiser, said: “Amazon workers in Coventry have made history by being the first in the UK to stand up to Jeff Bezos by taking action.

“But it’s not just in the Midlands where members are being underpaid and we aim to highlight this in Swindon this Wednesday.

“Amazon bosses would do well to pay attention to our members’ concerns, or this strike action will be repeated up and down the country.”
