Amazon warehouse workers in Britain went on strike for the first time on Wednesday, due to a dispute over pay and working conditions. Union members voted to walk off the job for one day at the e-commerce giant's fulfilment center in Coventry, a city located about 100 miles northwest of London near Birmingham. The union is fighting for a bigger pay raise than the company's offer, which it says amounts to an extra 50 pence (61 cents) an hour. Amazon, which operates 30 fulfillment centers in the United Kingdom, said 2,000 workers are employed at the Coventry facility, and the union says 98% of those who took part in the vote decided to strike. The company is offering "competitive pay" starting at 10.50 to 11.45 pounds an hour, depending on location.
