Amazon workers have announced a series of strikes at one of company's warehouses, which is in Coventry.
It is in a dispute over pay, and will see more than 350 staff at the fulfilment centre walk out.
The GMB said the walk outs will take place on 28 February, 2 March, and from 13-17 March.
The union said it's members made history last month by becoming the first Amazon workers in the UK to strike in their campaign for a pay rate of £15 an hour.
GMB senior organiser, Amanda Gearing, said the "unprecedented" strikes showed the anger among Amazon workers in Coventry.
She said: "They work for one of the richest companies in the world, yet they have to work round the clock to keep themselves afloat.
"It's sickening that Amazon workers in Coventry will earn just 8p above the national minimum wage in April 2023.
"Amazon bosses can stop this industrial action by doing the right thing and negotiating a proper pay rise with workers."
Amazon said it offers competitive pay for workers.
