Amazon Coventry warehouse workers ballot to join union 

Stick together. Don't let them play you off each other.

Amazon have some really nasty rules that are expected of you to work there for little pay. I fully support those unionising.

The wellbeing of the 68 year old woman tied to her job while facing multiple heart attacks. Seek advice please 😢

A 68 year old working in Amazon warehouse is just too much for the body I think.

Good for them - that heart attack lady should take them to court and clean them up for all they have

And billionaires are more worried about going first on holidays to space , while poor workers are working like donkeys 🫏 and getting heart attacks as well.

Stand strong and unionise. This is British.

It’s because of this poor wages that makes this few people so damn rich!

Amazon America is unionised and conditions have improved. Vote for the unionisation of Amazon UK.

✊️unionise!

5:15 Can't take sick leave again for six months? She has a heart condition, FFS! It happens whenever it happens!

I did it at Christmas once. It is a nightmare.

Keep up the pressure. We need unions in every amazon depot. Power to the people. Watch the great amazon heist.

Solidarity ✊

I worked as an Amazon driver for almost a year it's the same story, I had to deliver almost 400+ parcels a day 6 days a week and was financially penalised if I was falling behind or couldn't complete a route. My DSP even tried to make me do illegal things just so they could make their delivery rate. I'm now part of a collective claim against my former DSP and Amazon. Warehouse workers are well within their rights to do what is necessary to stop this company from taking liberties.

The Billionaire boss is drinking champagne on board a yatch while workers are working like robots and having heart attacks. Enough is enough

pay them Amazon

When the first amazon in the UK was opened it was a Blast and working was good but after a while things changed but once union starts with Amazon i bet the warehouses will start to vanish because super rich greedy want you to work all the time in terrible conditions

we have global companies, but we dont have global rights for workers....

All to fund his competition with other billionaires to have the longest super-yacht.

Vote for unions, the company in this case Amazon would never look after you. Unions will.

Excellent

Solidarity

Hope it goes well ✊ solidarity

Maybe time to boycott Amazon, think twice before you order

Aamzon will just hire double the amount of staff that are there already, pay them a bit more and have the vote quashed

Amazon unfortunately is not a company that will budge, not especially with what they consider to be their 'grunt' workers. They will simply overload with agency staff, and oust the current warehouse operatives. They are too big, and profitable to care.

Royal Mail is joining the race to the bottom unfortunately 😢

BOYCOTT AMAZON. IF YOU BUY FROM AMAZON THEN YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE WEAR HOUSE WORKERS MYSERY

This is so true, this is the only warehouse there is no union. You are literally helpless and managers do as they please with workers. You cannot talk back if you do you get moved.

FFS it’s you don’t need a PHD to know that unionising will help to improve working conditions

As someone who recently left this company, I would say that the pay and conditions are awful. Never have I felt exploited as much as the time I spent there.

I LOVE AMAZON & I PAY EXTRA FOR PRIME, BUT DO I WANT TO CONTINUE TO PURCHASE FROM THERE AT THE COST OF THE HEALTH & WELFARE OF OTHERS, I DON’T KNOW. BECAUSE, ONE HAND THEY NEED THE SALES TO FULFIL THEIR ROLES YET IT’S DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR WELLBEING , IT’S A VICIOUS CIRCLE & A WORRYING ONE. I HOPE THEY GET WHAT THEY NEED TOM’W.

I hope Amazon moved the 68 year-old off manual warehouse labour!

Rich people are greedy; they want more money, never happy with what they have got. The workers worked for that profit but it gets divided by the shareholders.

Unionise!

Stay strong and wishing the best for you to unionize

I always used to think Amazon workers with a New Slaves until I met the deliveroo crew... 💯

Unionise. The bonuses are minimal. The hour flexibility is false - good luck requesting certain days off rota. Pay rates are fixed anyway. Share options require 3 years of work to make them worthwhile, where most employees are pushed out after 2. All of the incentives amazon gives for not unionising are empty promises.

Good for them, workers solidarity

These modern day robber barons are disgusting and depraved. Governments sign away any decent work practices for jobs at any price.

Thank you for reporting. I had wrongly assumed UK laws offered better protection for workere than the US. To know they haven't yet got a union is a revelation.

Our government criticise other countries poor working conditions and modern slavery but allows it to happen here.

She's 68? And still working?

They will likely automate the warehouses like Ocado did

I don't really get this, lots of people unhappy with cost of living bills etc. Some others have a job and unhappy.... Maybe the way is work 16 hrs p/w and claim benefit just do what the majority is doing And suffer together

Workers need more rights that guarantee access to unions, massive fines have to be at stake for companies that refuse...

Same as Amazon EMA1, would be good to look into them as well and most of Amazons

✊

this is absolutely disgusting. I am done with Amazon.

I would never work for this slave trade. Too much stress, I prefer to work at a bank from home and get paid more as such poor beings.

is it true that rich business people are so tight

Well done them workers! Amazon needs to become a better employer!!!!

Hello Amazon, we are in the UK, not the US.

Havent used Amazon for nearly 10 years and won't ever.

3:15 These are the same underhanded union-busting tactics they employed in the US to dissuade workers from unionising. How is any of this legal?

I had a similar experience with a couple of logistic companies then I had enough and found employment elsewhere.

❤❤❤❤

That’s the reason why I don’t want to join the Amazon place 💀

Amazon disliking the video.

Brilliant. Well done.

This isn't a union issue this is a government issue. Come on labour put minimum wage up to £15 per hour and tax big companies properly

Amazon Pays 20-22 USD per hour in USA. But 12.3£ in UK

I have visited Amazon warehouses before. You will only find young and fit workers. Anyone who can't keep up with the front of the pack gets pushed out.

Royal Mail in 2024 is copying Amazon's Model but unfortunately with the unions help , very bad place to work with unachievable workloads

And they voted against unionisation...

The one thing I don’t like about Amazon is that there’s always something missing from the parcel, like screws

Great. Power to the people. 💪

WOW.....No surprize...

If only Amazon could pick up and deliver the parcel that sat 4 days outside my house when I told them it was not addressed to me and just deliver it to the correct address. I o

Isn't it anyone's choice to work there? Maybe it's true that Amazon needs to change the workers rights and pay but you do read the contract before, you must have a trial shift as well. There are plenty of job vacancies these days due to Brexit and I believe you can easily find something else to do.

I cant believe they voted against the gmb .....you just cant help some people

Good luck. A trade union is a right.

Go Cov, stand up for your rights. You know there are millions out here rooting for you ✊ Solidarity, don't let them divide you ✊

Don't use them. Buy mum and pop

Amazon tell the press one thing and do another. We have a 4 day working week till they call compulsory overtime 😂

It's sad that Amazon drivers can't unionise as they are self employed. That's where slave labor is in Amazon. Doing 190 stops per day, around 240-290 locations. I'm lucky to be done with it but worst experience of my life. Running 9 hours/10 hours with no breaks and if by some chance you finish early (like no reattempts at this day or less traffic) they will just add more to your route next time. Started job with 230lbs of weight, after less than a year I was 180. Avoid at all cost

She needs to sue

i would imagine that Amazon will just bring in more workers like last time to make sure the overall number of votes is not enough to unionise

I been working for uber eats and we don’t get paid minimum wega £11.44 like today I been out since 6pm all I made is £26 😂😂 if government wants tax they need to do something about this !!! Tell the Uber and Deliveroo just eat minimum of pay is £11.44 not less than that !! Let’s see new government gonna listen to us !!!

😢

Well they have there pales in power now .Labour

Cathy Newman of Channel 4 News exhibited very poor listening in her interview on Jan 16, 2018 and set a bad example for children. Cathy Newman tried to paint her interviewee as biased but she failed and stumbled on her own (lack of) logic. Ha, gotcha!

How to apply for the job

Yuno what’s funny? When you’re training they literally say “we’re not against unions but we just recommend you don’t do it”🤣🤣

All workers should be represented by unions. Companies can never be trusted enough to govern themselves

😢😢😢😢

Unions will work for them!

Make Amazon pay

I could find 12 quid a hour on the floor outside

And you better get some reps then. Because it's a hard job to do and you don't get paid. It takes over your home life and work life. They won't do anything for you till you've paid into it for three months and you need to understand your money is going straight to a political groups pocket. The NHS will already have it lawyers working on insuring staff never get on over them by producing more if their own policy and procedures to contract any new law. 3000 new policies. An NHS rep suffer the worst legislation to go against and don't forget you employer think your against them to as their ignorant of what a rep does. You have to be a councilor on top people bring their emotions with them. So remember your rep get nothing in pay to represent you even at a level five qualification.

Overplayed actually, to wear amazon uniform from home, I mean that woman, I think she has money for clothes.

Or just find another job?

i'll give it to gmb union. they often were outside the amazon warehouse i used to work at in rugby at 6:30am after night shift finished. joined them. Amazon sucks, but consumers love cheap chinese knockoffs

Boycot Amazon

Here's the thing how can ANY organisation legally record videos promoting a false working culture? Seems like a trade descriptions act issue?

They really need a union to protect them

Possibly the worst camera work in any news report, ever.

She love chowmein
