AMAZON warehouse workers are set to rally outside the company’s London headquarters today as they begin a historic ballot on trade union recognition.

The GMB union is launching its ballot at the company’s warehouse in Coventry, hoping to mark the beginning of the end of years of exploitation and appalling working conditions.

The union needs 40 per cent of those balloted to vote in favour.
