AMAZON workers have announced new strike dates at two so-called fulfilment centres, with the retail giant potentially on the brink of forced union recognition, the GMB union said today.

The body is responsible for regulating collective bargaining between workers and employers, and can force companies to recognise a trade union if more than 50 per cent of the workforce are members.
