US Amazon workers strike for better conditions in pandemic

Hundreds of Amazon warehouse employees in the US have gone on strike against what they say are unsafe working conditions amid the coronavirus pandemic, organisers said.

"More than 350 workers have now pledged" to strike, the Athena coalition, a group of workers' rights organisations, said in a statement, adding that the stoppage would be effective "starting today (Tuesday)."
But, according to Athena, the application of these measures has been "questioned repeatedly by workers on the ground."
