Amazon denies union claim it drafted in 1,300 extra workers to thwart push for formal recognition at Coventry warehouse
The GMB has reluctantly withdrawn its attempt to win formal union recognition at Amazon’swarehouse, accusing the firm of drafting in more than 1,000 extra workers to skew the decision.
On the basis of evidence submitted by the firm, however, the Guardian understands the CAC has endorsed Amazon’s statement that as many as 2,700 people are now employed there. “We estimate that’s more than £300,000 a week, just to stop workers having a voice in their workplace. This is more than it would cost to pay the original workforce the £15 an hour they were asking for.”
