Amazon Workers in India Strike on Black Friday Over Pay and Conditions

Protests in New Delhi join global demonstrations calling for higher wages, union rights, and improved working conditions at Amazon facilities.

Around 200 Amazon warehouse workers and delivery drivers in New Delhi protested under the 'Make Amazon Pay' campaign, demanding better wages and working conditions.
Workers are calling for a salary increase from 10,000 rupees ($120) to at least 25,000 rupees ($295) and highlighted the high-pressure work environment.
The strike coincided with similar protests in other countries, including the United States, Germany, Japan, and Brazil, during the Black Friday shopping period.
The Amazon India Workers Union plans to submit a memorandum of demands to India's Labor Minister, emphasizing fair pay, union rights, and environmental sustainability.
Amazon denies the allegations, stating its facilities provide competitive pay, safe working conditions, and modern infrastructure for employees.
