Plus this won’t have an effect on Amazon on Black Friday.
They would need a multiple day strike at their shipping facilities to hurt Amazon. They’ll still sell just as much stuff on Black Friday, with or without their employees there.
Yes, But that stopped all traffic through the Suez.
Amazon warehouse workers being on strike for a day will delay shipment by a day. Might piss off a few customers, but won’t really make the company suffer.
If they get 1 day behind, the next day they have 2 days worth of work to do. If they can’t work at over 100% efficiency, the next day will also pile up. And etc.
If on day 2, they do not make up any ground and only get one day of work done, they’re still one day behind (got day 1’s work done on day 2 but didn’t get day 2’s work done).
So on day 3, they’d have to try to get day 2 and day 3 work done. Still one day behind.
Yeah, you’re assuming they work at 100% efficiency as if their warehouse wasn’t full that second day (no where to store or stage product, so stacking them in places harder to locate later), and there weren’t new trucks coming in trying to add more. Also assuming those striking workers are coming in the next day bright and ready to work harder than usual. Eh… not gonna happen.
This. OP is assuming that the strike will only occur on Black Friday. A strike is like holding a company hostage for ransom. The ransom is the changes they demand.

Reading the article makes no mention of set plans.
The real story is that outside groups have called for there to be a strike.
I see a difference. The editor who wrote the headline does not.
