Amazon accused of targeting Coventry union members after failed recognition vote

GMB says 60 workers have been targeted, with disciplinary action increasing significantly, but company denies claims

Amazon has been accused of targeting 60 trade union members with disciplinary action after narrowly defeating a recognition vote at its Coventry warehouse last summer.

The GMB trade union said all 60 workers were involved in action at the warehouse - where it has about 700 members out of a workforce of at least 1,500 - that culminated in a ballot on formal recognition in July last year that failed by only a handful of votes.
