Amazon Workers Plan Global Strikes and Protests During Black Friday Weekend
In a coordinated effort spanning more than 20 countries, Amazon workers are preparing for strikes and protests from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, seeking better wages, improved working conditions, and addressing labor abuse claims. The planned actions mark the fifth consecutive year that employees at the retail giant will take a stand on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. Notably, workers in India are joining the global movement, demanding higher pay and fair treatment. Among the key themes of these protests are calls for Amazon to prioritize worker rights over profits, with slogans like "Make Amazon Pay" resonating across various locations.
