Reuters is reporting that Amazon could be facing its first strike in Germany by warehouse workers seeking better pay and benefits.

Amazon employs around 9,000 people across Germany and has come under fire from trade union Verdi for refusing to implement a collective agreement on employment conditions, in keeping with the country’s other mail order and retail firms.

The union is also pressing for higher basic pay and bigger supplements for night shifts.

Amazon workers in the eastern city of Leipzig voted in favor of strike action earlier this month and staff at Bad Hersfeld, a town in central Germany where 3,700 are employed, joined them on Monday.

I wonder if the strike will actually occur and or whether Amazon does concede to the unions demands.
