UNITE threw down the gauntlet to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos today as the online giant announced a tripling of its profits amid reports of union-busting and poor treatment of workers.
The huge transnational has made a killing from Covid-19, raking in a staggering £5.8 billion in the first three months of this year — more than three times the £1.8bn it made over the same period in 2020 — as lockdown forced much shopping online.
Unite today renewed its challenge to Mr Bezos to sign a “declaration of neutrality,” which would guarantee that workers could exercise their right to join a union without fear, and allow union reps onto Amazon sites.
