GMB union has today announced reaching one thousand members at Amazon's distribution centre in Coventry.

This comes at the end of a three day long walk out across the retail giant’s Prime Week which saw hundreds of Amazon workers joining the union.

Rachel Fagan, GMB Senior Organiser, said:

"It was amazing to see so many Amazon workers over the course of Prime Week, with queues around the corner to sign up and join the campaign.

"This is a clear message for Amazon top brass, in Coventry and around the world.

"GMB members are escalating their campaign for union rights and £15. They will not be beaten but the dirty tricks of Amazon.

"They're fighting for their future. Amazon's poverty pay and poor working conditions means that so many workers are struggling to pay the bills and raise their families."
