Hundreds of Amazon workers have walked off the job early at seven US facilities across the country. The workers, from cities including New York, Atlanta and San Francisco, are trying to pressure the retailer into a sit-down with their union. The protesters claim unfair pay and treatment from the tech giant.
These demonstrations come as Amazon rushes out packages in the final run-up to Christmas. However, the company says it does not expect an impact on its operations following the strike and saw its shares trading 1.5% higher in premarket hours, a sign that investors share similar views.
Earlier this year, Amazon announced a $2.1 billion investment to raise pay for fulfillment and transportation employees in the U.S, increasing base wages for employees by roughly 7 percent.
The tech giant is the worlds second largest private employer after Walmart and has more than 800,000 people at its U.S. warehouses. Observers say Amazon is unlikely to come to the table to bargain as that could open the door to more union actions.
Amazon workers at multiple US facilities have gone on strike, demanding fair pay and benefits, as the retailer faces mounting pressure during the final days of the holiday shopping season.
Amazon.com workers at seven US facilities are walked off during the holiday shopping spree leaving the company in a stressful situation. With this strike the workers are hoping to pressure the online shopping giant into contract with their union.

Amazon wins a partial dismissal of the FTC lawsuit accusing it of monopolistic practices, though key details remain sealed. The FTC claims Amazon used anti-competitive tactics to dominate online marketplaces. The case will proceed in two parts, with some allegations allowed to continue.
