Amazon Workers Strike at Seven US Facilities Ahead of Christmas Rush: Reuters报道
In a bold move ahead of the busy holiday season, Amazon workers at seven facilities across the United States have gone on strike in protest of working conditions and pay.
The strikes come as the e-commerce giant gears up for the Christmas rush, with millions of packages expected to be delivered in the coming weeks. The workers are demanding better pay, improved working conditions, and more respect from management.
“We work long hours under difficult conditions, and we feel like our concerns are not being taken seriously,” said one striking worker. “We deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.”
Amazon has faced criticism in the past for its treatment of workers, with reports of long hours, low pay, and harsh working conditions. The company has also faced backlash for its anti-union stance, with workers saying they are not allowed to organize or speak out against management.
In response to the strikes, Amazon has said it remains committed to providing a safe and positive work environment for its employees. The company has also said it is working to address the concerns raised by workers.
The strikes come at a crucial time for Amazon, as the company looks to capitalize on the busy holiday shopping season. With workers demanding better treatment and pay, it remains to be seen how the company will respond and how it will impact its operations in the coming weeks.
As the holiday season approaches, the eyes of the nation will be on Amazon and its workers as they seek to find common ground and ensure a successful and fair working environment for all.
