GMB hold Milton Keynes protest against Amazon
GMB hold protest against Amazon on Friday 23 November outside Milton Keynes warehouse
GMB believes it is high time Amazon faced up to their responsibilities as a responsible employer, says GMB London
As part of a national protest against Amazon, GMB have organised a demonstration outside the Milton Keynes warehouse.
Details of the protest are as follows:
Friday 23 November 2018
6:30 AM & 11:30 AM
Badgers Rise
Marston Gate
MK43 0ZA
GMB National Officer Mick Rix will be in attendance with some support from UNI Global Union, which organises Amazon workers across Europe.
Richard Owen, GMB Regional Officer said:
“This protest is being held because GMB believes it is high time Amazon faced up to their responsibilities as a responsible employer, rather than that of a Dickensian one, exploiting and abusing employees until they break.
“It is also time Amazon started to pay their taxes, rather than receive the endless welfare handouts from governments across the world, including in the UK.”
