Amazon spends another $500 million on bonuses. Some of its workers are still going on strike
Article summary
London (CNN Business) Amazon is spending another $500 million on bonuses for employees as it comes under pressure from a global campaign targeting its business practices and a strike in one of its biggest European markets . UK employees will receive bonuses of £300 ($400) and £150 ($200), respectively. Clark said in a statement that the company is spending $2.5 billion this year on “special bonuses and incentives” for teams globally, including the “thank you” bonus it paid workers in June. […] A spokesperson for Amazon UK said that no strikes are taking place at any of its fulfillment centers in Britain. “This is a series of misleading assertions by misinformed or self-interested groups who are using Amazon’s profile to further their individual causes,” Amazon said in response to the claims by unions and civil society groups that it is mistreating workers and the environment.
