Spanish Amazon Workers Plan Strike Over Wages Ahead of Epiphany Holiday
Spanish workers at an Amazon logistics center in northern Spain, near the border with France, are planning a three-day strike from January 3 to 5 ahead of the Epiphany feast day. They are demanding higher wages and seek pay raises exceeding the 3% per year forecast until 2025, citing the need to keep pace with inflation. Amazon stated that the workers at the center already receive competitive wages and benefits. This strike follows a similar one that began over the weekend, causing delays in parcel deliveries, as many Spanish children receive presents on Epiphany, celebrated on January 6.
