Amazon workers across Europe strike on Black Friday

“Unfortunately not”, thought Jeff and consoled himself by recalling the major milestones in his project to replace all workers with robots
So, quit?
No strike. It's their legal right, obtained after a hard fight by many generations over a few centuries. Clearly you have no sense of history.
No. A right is something that can't be granted. It is inherent. Your life and your property are rights. Compensation is a privilege. It is earned. Employers owe their employees nothing except for what was agreed upon when hired for a job.
Typical lazy Europeans. They should go home and ask EU to tax Amazon $5M a year and live off it. EU loves to tax big tech, make money off it and inject in their welfare state.

The protesters are from the GMB Union. Collective bargaining works best when they have leverage of lack of options. They are on strike, literally refusing to work, while at the same time reminding the company of the main alternative. Robots🤖 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cLVCGEmkJs0

"We are not robots!" "We're working on that."
Europeans are notorious for 30 hour workweeks, weeks of vacation, etc. This is not alarming nor surprising.
Notorious by reputation only. They don’t actually work 30 hour weeks. They do value and work in unions because they know corporations will squeeze them at every opportunity. And they’re right.
But why not challenge the 40+ hour work week? America could have kept the same levels of post-WW2 productivity with the average person only working a 22-hour workweek. But people didn't have anything to do with spare time in the 1950s so it didn't happen that way.
