A ballot process that could see Amazon recognise a trade union in the UK for the first time is to begin.
GMB union officials were due to enter the trading giant’s Coventry fulfilment site for the first time on Wednesday, where they were set to hold meetings with the 3,000 workers to try and win their vote.
Workers will ultimately vote on whether they want a union to represent them with GMB needing 40% of them to vote in their favour.
Amazon said employees have always had the choice of joining a union and that it placed “enormous” value on engagement with its employees.
