GMB officials urge staff to together, vote yes' as month-long process begins which may result in first union recognition in UK

Officials from the GMB are urging staff at Amazon's Coventry warehouse to together, vote yes", at the start of a month-long ballot process that could trigger a historic union recognition deal.

Officials from the union began visiting the West Midlands site on Wednesday after the GMB was granted the right to hold the legally binding ballot by the independent Central Arbitration Committee. Amazon had rejected a request for voluntary recognition.
