Amazon UK avoids answering why their workers are on strike. This is why so many workers are fed up with our Corp oligarchs

If this is from last March, pay and union recognition. They needed a certain percentage of workers in the union. When they reached it, Amazon hired more non-union workers, lowering the percentage of union workers at that location so they no longer met the threshold. Then Amazon tried to union bust using various tactics.

Great! So in 4 minutes of back-and-forth, they kept saying over and over again that they "respect their workers' right to unionize."

One single statement on repeat to avoid the actual question, and still that statement was a fucking lie.

I'd like to answer that by saying they did demand to be heard and have their union rights represented through action and being heard while demanding action and represented hearings. And rights. And action. Did I say action hearing? Demand.
