Black Friday is here again and so is another annual event\u2014 strikes and other labor actions against
\n Amazon.com.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

Labor groups claimed that Friday was the biggest day of strike action in
\n Amazon
\n \u2018s (ticker: AMZN)\u00a0history as they looked to overshadow an expected surge in spending with the e-commerce giant for the period from Thanksgiving through to Cyber Monday. <\/p>\n

\n

The Make
\n Amazon
\n Pay campaign, coordinated by the UNI Global Union and Progressive International, said strikes and protests would take place in more than 30 countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the U.K., the GMB union said more than 1,000 workers at a warehouse in Coventry would put down tools in a dispute over pay, while there also would be a protest at Amazon\u2019s headquarters in London. In Germany, the Verdi union called on Amazon workers to go on an all-day strike, with the action affecting five logistics sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday will see the largest day of industrial disruption in Amazon\u2019s thirty-year history,\u201d said GMB organizer Amanda Gearing in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Barron\u2019s<\/em> that the company didn\u2019t expect any disruption to customers. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe offer great pay and benefits for our employees, with great career opportunities, and provide a modern and safe working environment for all,\u201d the spokesperson said. <\/p>\n

Amazon shares were down slightly in early trading. <\/p>\n

In the U.S.,\u00a0Amazon could face a wave of labor action after workers at a site in New York voted to form the first American union at the e-commerce giant\u2019s facilities last year. However, several subsequent union drives have failed. <\/p>\n

Recent union efforts in the U.S. instead have focused on delivery drivers. The Teamsters union said earlier this week that workers have picketed 25 warehouses around the U.S. in recent months. Amazon doesn\u2019t directly employ its American delivery drivers, who are contracted via \u201cdelivery service partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
