Les salariés d'Amazon sont appelés par la CGT à faire grève lundi, à trois jours de Noël, sur l'ensemble des sites logistiques du géant de la vente en ligne, pour les salaires et les conditions de travail, a-t-on appris vendredi auprès du syndicat. L'appel vise les sites de Lauwin-Planque (Nord), Saran (Loiret), Sevrey (Saône-et-Loire) et Montélimar (Drôme), précise la CGT dans un communiqué.


My short very short translation of of the "le point" article..

The CGT union in an official communique, calls for a strike ( 3 days before Xmas ) at Amazon France demanding better salaries, working conditions and a €100.00 per month bonus for workers at the online sales giant..
The union says that the strike is not designed tocause inconvenience to customers..

::Sigh::..

Could only happen here in France..

The story has yet to break in any English language news sources including Reuters or BBC etc , at the time I saw it ( 14.13 Paris time Sat 20.11.2014 ) at "le point" as "breaking news"..So can't give any links to English language reports..

For those who read French, more detail here at "le point"..

Hmmm, the page you are looking for does not exist (in French). Is there any other source of this news? I haven't seen it yet in any English language media.

If you persevere you'll presently get to an offer of Recherche Google, which in turn leads you to
