When you employ a huge number of employees there are bound to be some dissatisfaction among some. But when it comes to thousands walking out and striking during one of the busiest retail seasons, it draws the attention of the employers and those in the area. That is the crises that Amazon is facing in several cities across Europe.
Amazon warehouse employees in Germany, and Italy when on strike on Friday to protest for increased wages and changes in the working conditions so that they are constantly doing repetitive movements have been putting strains on their bodies. Amazon has defended itself in both Italy and Germany. The company has said that it pays one of the highest wages in Italy, even though that country is still experiencing high unemployment and financial instability. As for Germany, Amazon has said its wages are high compared to logistical facilities in the area. We will have to watch and see what will happen after this one-day strike.
