3-4)
June 8 (Reuters) - UK labour union GMB said on Thursday
that Amazon AMZN.O workers at a warehouse in Coventry will
strike for three days in June over a pay dispute.
The union said workers at the warehouse will walk out from
June 12 to June 14.
Workers at the site had staged the first strike at Amazon's
operations in Britain in January, and followed it up with
strikes in February, March and April.
Labour unions representing nurses, teachers, civil servants
and transport staff, have been calling strikes amid inflationary
pressures.
