Amazon workers in more than 20 countries, including the United States, plan to strike during the busy pre-holiday shopping days between Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday to “make Amazon pay,” strike organizers said Thursday.

The aim of the “Days of Resistance” is to “hold Amazon accountable for (labor) abuses, environmental destruction and threats to democracy,” said the organizers UNI Global Union and Progressive International.

“No matter how much they spend fighting against us, corporations like Amazon cannot break the power of cohesive workers,” UNI Global Union Secretary General Christy Hoffman said in a statement shared with FOX Business. “In Germany, ver.di has been a leader in demanding collective bargaining rights for over a decade – a fight that resonates around the world. From India to the United States, from the United Kingdom to Canada, workers are rising up against corporate exploitation and intimidation.” “Make Amazon Pay Day” is a powerful testament to our unity and dynamism. No company – no matter how wealthy – can silence the cause of workers demanding justice.”

Countries with striking workers include the United States – where workers in “major cities” are striking – the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, Brazil, India and Turkey, organizers said.

According to the UNI Global Union, the striking workers are supported by various unions, anti-poverty and garment workers’ rights groups and others.

In a statement to FOX Business, Amazon accused organizers of being “intentionally misleading” and spreading a “false narrative.”

“The fact is that at Amazon we offer great pay, great benefits and great opportunities from day one,” said Amazon spokeswoman Eileen Hards. “We have created more than 1.5 million jobs worldwide and counting, and we offer a modern, safe and engaging workplace, whether you work in an office or in one of our operational buildings.”

Organizers said this was the fifth year they had struck at the start of the holiday shopping season.

Specifically in New Delhi, India, UNI Global Union said hundreds of Amazon workers will come together to demand fair treatment “in light of the mistreatment of Amazon workers during a massive heat wave last July summer.”

“(Jeff) Bezos’ company has spent untold millions to discourage workers from organizing, but strikes and protests around the world show that workers’ desire for justice – for union representation – cannot be stopped,” Hoffman claimed. “We collectively demand that Amazon treats its employees fairly, respects fundamental rights and stops undermining the systems designed to protect us all. ‘Make Amazon Pay Day’ will become a global act of resistance against Amazon’s abuse of power.”

It’s not clear how many workers in the U.S. or abroad are planning a strike.
