Why Amazon Employees Intend to Strike during Amazon Prime Day Sale

According to a Reuters report, Amazon employees are preparing to leave a UK facility. The three-day strike, which will take place over a pay disagreement, will start on 11 July and end on 13 July. The proposed strike will coincide with the Amazon Prime Day Sale, which begins on 11 July in the UK and runs through 12 July. The strike isn't anticipated to impact the customers, though, as the warehouse where it is being planned doesn't directly fulfil client orders. 

900 Amazon employees intend to strike

There will reportedly be 900 Amazon employees participating in the strike at the Coventry warehouse in the UK. The strike will occur on July 11, 12, and 13 for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The strike by Amazon employees is protesting their hourly wage of 15 pounds. Depending on the area, the corporation has set the minimum hourly wage for employees between 11 and 12 pounds. 

This is not the first strike the employees have called. The workers in the Coventry warehouse had also conducted a walkout the previous month, from 12 June to 14. The workers subsequently voted to continue strikes for another six months, according to the union.

India's Amazon Prime Day sale

The Amazon Prime Day Sale in India will start on 15 July and go through 16 July this year. You can already see the same promotional banner on Amazon India's website. Several smartphones are anticipated to decrease in price during the sale. According to sources, the iPhone 14 will reportedly be offered at a significant discount. 

Additionally, given their successors, the Samsung Galaxy M34 5G and the iQOO Neo 7 Pro, have just been released, it is anticipated that the Samsung Galaxy M33 and iQOO Neo 7 will also be available at great prices. In addition to phones, TVs, electronic appliances, fashion, beauty, grocery, Amazon gadgets, home utilities, kitchen appliances, furnishings, and daily necessities are all anticipated to have promising deals for users.
