Amazon campaign hits the streets

Unite began a major newspaper and digital advertising campaign yesterday (March 31), to alert Amazon workers about a confidential whistle-blowing hotline which has opened in the UK and Ireland.

Amazon workers can blow the whistle and expose poor treatment free from reprisals by calling 08000 14 14 61 in the UK or 1800 851 268 for the Republic of Ireland or visiting Unite’s Action on Amazon website here.

The hotline coincides with the launch of the campaign alliance ‘Action on Amazon’ that is demanding a ‘new deal’ for Amazon workers, including a union and a greater share of the firm’s enormous profits.

Launch events took place across the UK and Ireland this week including in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin.

Below are some campaign launch highlights from London and Brighton.
