Amazon staff target Valentine's Day with strike

More than 1,000 Amazon staff are set to stage a three-day strike over the Valentine's Day period. Coventry staff were the first of Amazon's UK employees to walk out when industrial action began in January last year. The trade union previously said Amazon had "Refused" to increase pay when the cost of living crisis began. Members are campaigning for £15 per hour, to help with rising costs and reflect the physical and repetitive nature of the job, Amanda Gearing from the GMB told the BBC. An Amazon spokesperson said that by April the company's minimum starting pay will have increased to £12.30 and £13 per hour, depending on location. The firm added: "We also work hard to provide great benefits, a positive work environment and excellent career opportunities."These are just some of the reasons people want to come and work at Amazon, whether it's their first job, a seasonal role or an opportunity for them to advance their career.
