Workers at an Amazon site are to stage fresh strikes in a dispute over pay.
The GMB said around 1,000 of its members in Coventry will walk out for three days from next Tuesday.
The workers have taken over 30 days of industrial action in their campaign for an hourly wage of £15 and union rights.
Amanda Gearing, GMB senior organiser, said: "The campaign to win £15 an hour and union rights at Amazon is growing stronger every day.
"Next week will mark the start of months of industrial chaos and Amazon is fast running out of options.
"It's time for Amazon to listen to our members, it's time for £15."
An Amazon spokesperson said: "We regularly review our pay to ensure we offer competitive wages and benefits.
"By April, our minimum starting pay will have increased to £12.30 and £13 per hour depending on location, that's a 20% increase over two years and 50% since 2018.
"We also work hard to provide great benefits, a positive work environment and excellent career opportunities. These are just some of the reasons people want to come and work at Amazon, whether it's their first job, a seasonal role or an opportunity for them to advance their career."
