Amazon strike: First formal walkout on British soil has begun

Summary by Ground News

Almost 300 workers are poised to walk out today - marking the first formal strike on British soil for the online giant.

GMB union is calling on Amazon to pay its UK workers €15 an hour to bring their wages in line with their American counterparts, who earn $18 an hour.
