Andy Prendergast, national secretary at GMB, said workers were concerned over “pay and unsafe conditions”.
“Amazon has had every chance to do the right thing – now workers are taking things into their own hands to make work better,” he added.
A representative for Amazon, which was was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, said: “Our employees have the choice of whether or not to join a union. They always have.”
They added they “regularly review” pay, adding: “Our minimum starting pay has increased to £12.30 and £13 per hour depending on location – that’s a 20% increase over two years and 50% since 2018.
“We also work hard to provide great benefits, a positive work environment and excellent career opportunities.”
