This strike is so ridiculous.
I agree that warehouse work isn't the easiest work(physically), but that's part of not being skilled.
If you take a look at the wages Amazon pays (10€ for the first year, 11,77€ in the third year) and take a look at other jobs for the unskilled (McDonalds, DPD, Hermes), you can clearly see that this is actually a decent wage. Especially in the Area of eastern Germany, wich is still economically much weaker than western Germany.
I worked part-time in a large themepark for 4 years and none of their regular workers got paid that much. Also they we're mostly unemployed in offseason.
Also consider that there are only about 15% of their workers striking.
The Store is drawn much bigger than it actually is.
Also the Union VerDi is just a big Joke. They're not about fair treatment of workers but their own advantage. They're just giving these workers a runaround.
