Amazon strikes spread to second depot

Amazon warehouse worker

Amazon workers at a second fulfilment centre are set to walk out following the result of a strike ballot.

The GMB union said more than 100 staff at the Amazon Rugeley fulfilment centre are set to strike after 86% voted to back the walkouts.

An Amazon spokesperson told Retail Week that “only 43 GMB members, not over 100” voted in favour of industrial action out of a warehouse population of 1,000.
