Amazon workers across Europe staged a walkout on Black Friday—when retailers offer
major deals to holiday season shoppers the day after Thanksgiving—to protest low wages
Eduardo Hernandez, a 38-year-old employee at an Amazon logistics depot in
toldthe Associated Press that the action was intentionally scheduled on the popular
shopping day to negatively impacting the company's profits.
"It is one of the days that Amazon has most sales, and these are days when
we can hurt more and make ourselves be heard because the company has not
listened to us and does not want to reach an agreement," he said.

Protests were also planned for Amazon facilities in Italy, France, the United
Kingdom, and Germany.
Some 620 employees at Amazon distribution centers in Rheinberg and Bad
Hersfeld, Germany joined the walkout to demand higher wages, while union
members in the U.K. organized actions at five warehouses across the country to
highlight safety concerns.
As Tim Roache, head of the London-based GMB union explained: "The
conditions our members at Amazon are working under are frankly inhuman.
They are breaking bones, being knocked unconscious, and being taken away in
ambulances."
While Amazon denies these claims—telling Business Insider in
a statement Thursday that "all of our sites are safe places to work and reports to
the contrary is simply wrong"—Roache said the workers are "standing up and
saying enough is enough."
Amazon CEO "Jeff Bezos is the richest bloke on the planet; he can afford to sort
this out. You'd think to make the workplace safer so people aren't carved out of the
warehouse in an ambulance is in everyone's interest," Roache added. "These
are people making Amazon its money? People with kids, homes, bills to pay—
they're not robots."
In a video from the union targeting Bezos, workers also declared in multiple
languages, "We are not robots." Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the U.K.'s Labour
Party, shared the video on Twitter and expressed "solidarity" with those
participating in the walkout.
