Trade union Verdi, that is representing the workers, says Amazon employees receive lower wages than others in retail and mail-order jobs in Germany. Verdi has been calling on Amazon to changes its rules to allow a legally binding collective bargaining agreement for the company’s approximately 16,000 German employees which it believes would guarantee better working conditions. The union is seeking an agreement similar to that available for retail workers and other mail order companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thelocal.de\u002F20181217\u002Famazon-workers-at-two-locations-in-germany-go-on-strike\"> in English ...\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers or Sanne van der Gaag, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa> © ETUI \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":43,"link":44},"Contact us",{"title":43,"url":45,"description":43,"rel":46,"type":47,"id":48},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[],[],[],[],[],false,"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
