Amazon.com Workers in Germany Walk Off the Job in Labor Action

Say they want collective bargaining, healthier workplaces, better treatment

Amazon.com workers in Germany walked off the job Monday to demand better wages and treatment, just as the e-commerce giant heads into the thick of Christmas gift-ordering.

The Ver.di union said a round of walkouts in Leipzig, Bad Hersfeld and Graben was planned in tandem with picketing outside of Amazon's headquarters in Washington state.
