UPDATES ON AMAZON PRIME STRIKE AND PRIME DAY!
The basics:
- Thousands of workers in Spain, Germany and the US have been striking leading up to and on Prime Day, Amazon’s biggest sale, calling for better working conditions, pay and health benefits.
- Nearly 1,800 Amazon workers (96% of the workers at the San Fernando warehouse) in Spain went on strike Monday during Prime Day, the company’s biggest sales day of the year
- Thousands more Amazon employees in Germany are expected to walk off the job Tuesday, the second day of the sale in six warehouses.
- Amazon’s website and mobile app crashed for about 45 minutes, due to a computer glitch – the most widespread to date, costing Amazon millions of dollars
- In the US, advocacy groups are planning several consumer rallies outside Amazon-owned Whole Foods Market locations to protest the sale of Nazi, Confederate and white nationalist merchandise through Amazon’s marketplace of third-party sellers.
Amazon is still expected to profit more this year than last year. Let’s hope we can keep spreading the word about the boycott and prove them wrong. Spain’s strike is supposed to last through the 18th, so keep boycotting
Poland’s strike is also ongoing. Don’t cross the picket line.

On this day, 18 July 1936, right wing military rebels seized control of a third of the Spanish mainland and martial law was declared in the Canary Islands. The anarchist CNT union newspaper ‘Solidaridad Obrera’ (Workers’ Solidarity) carried the headline: “In Seville, the fascists shoot at our brothers! In Cordoba, the soldiers uprise! In Morocco, one fights in the streets! Who does not fill their revolutionary duty is a traitor to the cause of the people! Long Live Libertarian Communism!” The workers of Spain heeded the call the following day, launching the Spanish revolution.
We have made available in our online store a number of discounted books about the Spanish revolution, including an account of collectivised industry, and a detailed history of the CNT.
