Protest in Bratislava against Amazon practices
31/01/2015
On Thursday, 29th January, Priama akcia (PA) union organized a protest action in front of the Amazon branch in Bratislava, in solidarity with workers in two Polish warehouses who stood up against the practices of Amazon and started to organize with support of Związek Syndykalistów Polski (ZSP).
The action took place during the lunch hour in front of the headquarters of the Bratislava branch. PA drew attention to the practices of Amazon with pickets and leaflets distributed to passers-by including Amazon employees, with whom we discussed the reasons for the action. Some of them knew about recent protests in USA and also Germany. There was no negative feedback, rather the opposite.
In the end we were not able to deliver the protest letter to the hands of the management, since apparently there was no-one in the company who could take it, and Amazon has no letter box in the building (contrary to other companies) where we could leave it. However, it was obvious that a large part of the workers noticed the protest.
