Amazon employees in over 20 countries, including the U.S., are set to strike during the critical shopping days between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, according to Fox Business.
Organized by UNI Global Union and Progressive International, the demonstrations aim to hold Amazon accountable for alleged labor abuses, environmental harm, and anti-union practices. Workers in major cities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia will join protests supported by unions and advocacy groups.
Amazon dismissed the accusations as misleading, emphasizing its competitive pay and benefits. The strike marks the fifth consecutive year of coordinated global protests under the “Make Amazon Pay” campaign.
Organizers highlighted local grievances, such as unsafe working conditions during heatwaves in India, and vowed to continue pressing Amazon for fair treatment and respect for worker rights.
