Amazon Coventry Strike: Valentine’s Day Pay Dispute

Amazon workers in Coventry have gone on strike for three days in a bid to secure fair wages and union rights, demanding a minimum pay of £15 per hour. This is part of an ongoing campaign by the GMB union, while Amazon has announced plans to increase the minimum starting pay rate to £12.30 and £13 per hour by April 2024. The strike highlights the challenges faced by workers in their pursuit of fair compensation and collective bargaining rights.
