AMAZON workers are set to hold nationwide protests this morning against “appalling conditions” in the online retailer’s warehouses.

GMB members working for the transnational shopping giant are to be joined by Labour MP Jack Dromey outside the company’s “fulfilment centre” in Milton Keynes.

Supportive trade unionists in other parts of the country will also take part in demonstrations against Amazon Prime Day,  when the company seeks increased sales through time-limited offers.

The protests are part of the GMB campaign to organise Amazon warehouses, which the union says have “appalling” health and safety records. 

Since 2015-16, the Health and Safety Executive has received more than 600 reports from Amazon warehouses.

GMB regional organiser Steve Garelick said: “Until we see an improvement in workers’ situations, we will continue to speak out.

“Until we see companies such as Amazon making a real substantial tax and green contribution to the UK and elsewhere, we will remain resolute in voicing our concerns.”
