The Verdi union has started strikes lasting several days at seven German locations of the mail order company Amazon. According to the information, employees stopped working in the two distribution centers in Bad Hersfeld, in Koblenz, Leipzig, Rheinberg, Graben and Werne. Also on Tuesday there should be a strike for better data protection and higher pay, as a Verdi spokesman said in Berlin. The campaigns then continue at different locations for different lengths of time. An overall balance can only be drawn at the end of the strike wave, said the Verdi representative. Around 2,500 participants and disruptions to operational processes are expected. Amazon, on the other hand, says it does not expect any effects on customers. The retailer operates 17 distribution centers nationwide and can also relocate flows of goods to neighboring countries.
