Union workers in the UK, Spain, Italy and Germany have staged a wave of protests and strikes against what they call Amazon's dangerous, high-pressure work culture and "its aggressive anti-union actions," according to a press release from Switzerland-based UNI Global Union on behalf of several other European unions, too.

"The conditions our members at Amazon are working under are frankly inhuman. They are breaking bones, being knocked unconscious and being taken away in ambulances," Tim Roache, general secretary of the UK-based GMB union, said in a statement. "Enough is enough. Time these workers were treated like humans, not robots."
