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. The mood among the company's workforce shifted in August after it offered its workers what many considered to be a paltry pay rise. 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.
