Hundreds of Amazon.com Inc. warehouse workers in the UK walked off the job on Wednesday, the first such industrial action by the company’s British employees.
While unprecedented, the strike affected a relatively small fraction of employees at the Amazon facility in Coventry. Of the approximately 2,000 workers there, about 280 members of the GMB Union were eligible to participate.
