We stand united in demanding that Amazon treat its workers fairly, respect fundamental rights, and stop undermining the systems meant to protect us all. \u2018Make Amazon Pay Day\u2019 is becoming a global act of resistance against Amazon\u2019s abuse of power.\u201d<\/p>\n Progressive International\u2019s co-general coordinator, Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, pointed out that while Amazon \u201cis everywhere,\u201d so are its workers.<\/p>\n \u201cBy uniting our movements across borders, we can not only force Amazon to change its ways but lay the foundations of a world that prioritizes human dignity, not Jeff Bezos\u2019 bank balance,\u201d Gandikota-Nellutla said, per the press release.<\/p>\n The Amazon workers\u2019 strike could impact package deliveries for consumers during the holiday season, according to ABC News<\/a>. Customers could experience delivery delays, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n Since the \u201cMake Amazon Pay\u201d movement began in 2020, the strikes tend to last through Cyber Monday. Therefore, this year, the strike against Amazon is expected to end after Cyber Monday, which takes place on Monday, December 2, 2024.<\/p>\n The \u201cMake Amazon Pay\u201d movement launched on Black Friday 2020 and has expanded ever since, the UNI press release pointed out. Every year, the organized protests nudge Amazon for change when it comes to working conditions, and the movement continues to protest the company\u2019s alleged threats toward democracy, per the UNI.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nWhy Are Amazon Workers on Strike?<\/h2>\n
