Amazon employees in France and Germany have gone on strike as part of the Make Amazon Pay initiative

Amazon employees in Germany and France went on strike on Black Friday as part of a global campaign to target the online retailer on one of the busiest shopping days of the year with demands for higher wages.

The Make Amazon Pay organization, which called for the strikes, stated that actions were planned in over 30 nations, including the United States.

Demonstrations occurred at nine of Amazon’s 20 facilities in Germany, however, the company stated on Friday morning that most employees in Germany were working as usual.

Workers were spotted outside a warehouse in Koblenz, a city in western Germany, near a red-and-white flag that read in German, French, and English, “We’re on strike.”

The Verdi union in Germany asked that the corporation recognize collective bargaining agreements for retail and mail-order sales.
