London, July 15 (RHC)-- In Britain, some 900 Amazon warehouse workers in the city of Coventry carried out a three-day strike coinciding with Amazon Prime Day, which ran during this past week. 

The workers are fighting for fair wages, humane working conditions and recognition of their union. Amazon workers in Germany are also striking this week.

One union organizer told reporters:  “We are in solidarity with the Writers Guild, from Amazon in the United States, with your fight.  Your fight is our fight.  We are in solidarity with the Amazon workers in Coventry who are in strike these days.  We are a worldwide movement.  We are fighting for better conditions, for more money, on Amazon worldwide.”

In the United States, dozens of delivery drivers contracted by Amazon in Southern California have been on strike since late June to protest unsafe working conditions amid extreme heat.
