| Résumé : |
On the morning of 9 April 2013, some 1,100 employees of the Amazon fulfil-ment centres in Bad Hersfeld, a small town in central Germany, formed a picket line in front of the gates. They were kitted out with whistles, high-visibility vests bearing the logo of service sector trade union ver.di, and posters calling for a collective agreement based on the rules applicable to retail and mail-order compa-nies. Something had happened that nobody, least of all Amazon itself, had thought possible. For the first time in its almost 20-year history, the US online retailer was faced with a strike, originating not in the US but in Germany, which is not known for its strong strike culture. |
