Amazon’s German Workers to Protest in Seattle
Representatives of Amazon.com Inc. workers in Germany will take their beef with the e-commerce giant to the U.S. Monday, staging a protest at the retailer’s Seattle headquarters in tandem with strikes planned at Amazon sites in Germany.
This is the first time the union has taken a German wage dispute outside the country to a corporation’s doorstep, Mechthild Middeke of the services union Ver.di said. At the same time, she stressed the U.S. action is symbolic.
