Amazon strike: a Black Friday under tension

After the end of the Covid-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine, the news is once again dominated by strikes. In France, it is the turn of the energy sector and the SNCF to mobilize. And other major groups are not to be outdone, such as Amazon, which is facing a global social movement this Black Friday.

Organized by the UNI Global Union, this strike aims to denounce the degrading working conditions within the American giant. The union denounces in particular low wages, excessive working hours and a lack of respect for trade union rights. In France, the CGT has called for a strike from November 24 to 28 in the group's various warehouses in France.

This movement is unprecedented in its scale. It is the first time that Amazon workers around the world have come together to denounce the company's practices. The strike is expected to affect more than 20 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Japan.

Amazon has already announced that it will do everything possible to ensure the delivery of orders. The group has hired temporary workers and has increased its stock of products in its warehouses. But the strike could still cause delays in deliveries, especially during the busy Black Friday period.

This strike is a major challenge for Amazon. The group, which has long been criticized for its social practices, is now facing a global movement of its employees. It remains to be seen how the company will respond to this challenge and whether it will be able to improve the working conditions of its employees.

In the meantime, consumers are advised to anticipate their purchases and to place their orders as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.
