“The conditions our members at Amazon are working under are frankly inhuman. They are breaking bones, being knocked unconscious and being taken away in ambulances. We're standing up and saying enough is enough, these are people making Amazon its money. People with kids, homes, bills to pay — they're not robots,” GMB General Secretary Tim Roache wrote in a statement on the union’s website. “Jeff Bezos is the richest bloke on the planet; he can afford to sort this out. Working people and the communities Amazon operates in deserve better than this. That's what we're campaigning for."
Another union partaking in the strike, UNI Global, says over 2,000 of its members are demonstrating throughout Europe. An Italian news outletreports Amazon managers have had to do the jobs of warehouse workers and pack items due to the number of employees striking.
Amazon warehouse workers in Germany and Spain are planning to strike for at least 24 hours, Reuters reports.

Workers in Europe went on strike earlier this year on another one of Amazon’s peak shopping events, Prime Day, demanding better conditions in the company’s warehouses.
Not long after Prime Day, Amazon instituted a “Fulfillment Center Ambassador” program, in which certain Amazon employees were given a new job within the company: defending Amazon on Twitter. The FC Ambassadors would reply to tweetsreferencing negative news about Amazon warehouse working conditions, such as workers having to pee in bottles, in order to dispel the reports.
“Our European Fulfillment Network is fully operational as we all remain focused on delivering the best customer experience for the peak season. Any reports to the contrary are simply wrong,” said an Amazon spokesperson in a statement to Mashable. “Amazon is a fair and responsible employer. We believe in continuous improvement across our network and maintain an open and direct dialogue with our associates.
"Amazon has invested over 27 billion euros and created over 75,000 permanent jobs across Europe since 2010. These are good jobs with highly competitive pay, full benefits, and innovative training programs like Career Choice that pre-pays 95% of tuition for associates. We provide safe and positive working conditions, and encourage anyone to come see for themselves by taking a tour at one of our fulfillment centers.”
