Amazon workers in Coventry announce more strike dates
It marks one year of industrial action.
Workers at Amazon's fulfilment centre in Coventry have announced two more days of strike action in an ongoing dispute over pay rises.
The online giant, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, has reportedly increased pay by 50p per hour.
Workers at the centre will down tools on 4 and 5 August - marking one year of industrial action.
The GMB union says this will bring the total days lost to strike action at Amazon this year to 26.
Similar strikes took place this month, during the retailer's Prime Day sales.
During the strikes, GMB Senior Organiser, Rachel Fagan said:
"This is a clear message for Amazon top brass, in Coventry and around the world.
"GMB members are escalating their campaign for union rights and £15. They will not be beaten but the dirty tricks of Amazon.
"They're fighting for their future. Amazon's poverty pay and poor working conditions means that so many workers are struggling to pay the bills and raise their families."
An Amazon spokesperson says they regularly review staff pay to ensure they offer competitive wages and benefits.
