The pandemic has made Jeff Bezos inconceivably rich - yet his workers are laboring long hours at the frontline of pandemic

In the early hours of 27 November - as shoppers around the world woke up to a frenzy of Black Friday bargains - workers at Amazon's fulfillment center in Pozna, Poland, went on strike. Since March, CEO Jeff Bezos has seen his personal wealth soar: in a single day this July, Bezos made more than $10bn, the largest jump in individual wealth in human history. Meanwhile, Amazon workers have been forced to work long hours in precarious conditions at the frontline of the pandemic, with almost no increase in pay. We keep the world running," said the workers at Pozna, so we deserve much more!"

Amazon takes too much and gives back too little," the coalition writes in its common demands.
