Approximately 3,000 Amazon employees have initiated a strike across nine warehouse locations in Germany. The walkouts are timed to disrupt operations during the crucial Black Friday shopping period as workers advocate for a new bargaining agreement. The protest is part of a broader campaign called "Make Amazon Pay," spearheaded by the UNI Global Union, which has planned actions from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. In response, an Amazon spokesperson stated the company does not expect the strike to have any significant impact on customer orders or its overall sales. The company also emphasized that it offers fair wages. While the labor action highlights ongoing tensions, the limited geographic scope suggests a contained operational impact for the global e-commerce giant. Shares of Amazon were trading slightly higher on Black Friday, in line with the broader market.
