Amazon warehouse and fulfillment centre workers around the world are going on strike today to bring light to the working conditions that they endure.
The strike is occurring simultaneously as Amazon’s “Prime Day” and strikers are arguing that buying from Amazon during Prime Day is akin to crossing a picket line.
Workers around the US continue to complain of extremely large quotas, limited bathroom breaks, mandatory holiday shifts and a need for pain medication to get through ten-hour work days.
