WORKERS at Amazon’s new centre in Birmingham have voted to strike just weeks after it opened last month.

GMB said 100 per cent of its workforce backed industrial action at the fulfilment centre in Minworth.

It comes after more than 1,000 Amazon workers downed tools last week as part of the union’s Black Friday industrial action at the retail giant.

The action coincided with other Amazon strikes across Europe and the US.

GMB organiser Amanda Gearing said: “Company bosses are hoping they can bury their head in the sand; but the truth is industrial relations at Amazon UK is in chaos.

“Amazon Minworth opened its doors just weeks ago and workers have already voted to join strike action.

“Our members feel betrayed by a company that is letting low pay and unsafe working conditions become the new normal.

“After Black Friday strikes last week, we’re seeing industrial action snowballing and Amazon is surely set to face a winter of strike chaos.”
