"Workers in more than 20 countries are set to protest or strike between Black Friday and Cyber Monday over wages, working conditions, and Amazon's environmental impact."
"Amazon has downplayed the protests, characterizing them as small-scale and saying the labor groups organizing Make Amazon Pay are presenting a misleadingly negative portrait of working at the company."
"The fact is at Amazon we provide great pay, great benefits, and great opportunities—all from day one," spokesperson Eileen Hards said in a statement. "We've created more than 1.5 million jobs around the world, and counting, and we provide a modern, safe, and engaging workplace whether you work in an office or at one of our operations buildings."
"Separately, it has also taken steps that respond to some of protesters' demands, though not all workers say they're pleased with the company's rate of progress."
