Around 20,000 warehouse and delivery workers at Amazon's Spanish unit had been urged to walk out to demand better pay and working conditions on the so-called Cyber Monday discount day, when retailers aim to boost Christmas gift buying. "We are proud of the wages, benefits and safer working conditions that will be provided to our employees in Spain," Amazon added. CCOO said it would continue negotiations with the company to improve pay and conditions at the local unit. Amazon logistics workers on both sides of the Atlantic have complained about working conditions, with groups of workers and activists across Europe protesting against the U.S. e-commerce giant as recently as Friday.
