On April 18, 2025, thousands of Amazon drivers across Italy successfully organized a strike at the company's 41 delivery stations, with participation estimated at 85% nationally. This action, coordinated by three major unions, aimed to voice demands for better job security, safer working conditions, and manageable workloads. The strike coincided with peak delivery times leading up to Easter, showcasing the drivers' collective strength and resolve. Despite previous setbacks in organizing efforts elsewhere, the Italian drivers' actions offer encouragement to union efforts globally, as they push against Amazon's tactics to suppress worker rights.
The three unions that coordinated the job action reported driver strike participation was at 85 percent nationally, with 100 percent participation in cities like Genoa and Rimini.
This one-day strike was a show of strength, an escalation of worker demands for job security, safer working conditions, and an end to crushing workloads and relentless speedups.
