Some of those countries don't even have any Amazon distribution centres. A lot of those are protests by activists - not workers, and not related to working conditions at all. The title is not just misleading - it's completely wrong.
- riffraff 5y agooddly enough, in Italy there will be a protest, but it's none of the people listed in the article: there will be a strike from _drivers_ who deliver on behalf of Amazon[0]. Actual amazon logistics employees already have an agreement with the local unions and I assume won't protest[1].

- krageon 5y ago> activists - not workers People can be (and probably are) both.
- matharmin 5y agoThey can be both, but in many of the listed countries there aren't really Amazon workers (at least not warehouse staff), and they are not "[striking] for better working conditions" as stated in the headline. That is part of the #MakeAmazonPay movement, but it's not all the movement is, and saying that employees are striking in 20 countries is completely false.
- unanswered 5y ago> saying that employees are striking in 20 countries is completely false. It elicited the desired feelings and therefore it was completely true.
