Global Protests Target Amazon Over Working Conditions on Black Friday

Union-led actions in 30 countries demand better pay and legally binding contracts from the retail giant.

Over 60 protest actions are planned across 30 countries, coordinated by unions including Germany's Verdi and Uni Global Union.
The central protest will take place in Bad Hersfeld, Germany, involving 1,200 workers from multiple Amazon sites.
Unions are demanding legally binding collective agreements and improved working conditions, which Amazon has not agreed to for over a decade.
Amazon maintains that it provides fair wages and benefits, asserting that customer deliveries will not be disrupted by the strikes.
The protests are strategically timed on Black Friday, one of the company's busiest sales days, to draw attention to labor concerns.
