Amazon Faces Global Black Friday Protests
Amazon workers launched coordinated strikes and protests across more than 30 countries on Black Friday, marking the sixth annual "Make Amazon Pay" campaign and running through Dec. 1. Organizers, including UNI Global Union and Progressive International, cite heat-related injuries, productivity pressure, AI and data-center expansion, climate impact, and ties to ICE as central grievances. Actions demand stronger labor protections and limits on AI deployments.
