(23 Nov 2018) Some of Amazon's workers in Spain are protesting against what they call unfair work conditions, in a move meant to disrupt operations on Black Friday. Amazon Spain said around 90 percent of workers at a logistics depot in San Fernando de Henares, near Madrid, joined the walkout on Friday. Only two people were at the loading bay, according to Amazon spokesman Douglas Harper. However, he said Amazon had diverted cargo deliveries to its other 22 depots in the country. One worker picketing outside the centre accused Amazon of "always pushing things to the limit". "They have their own laws, they think that because they have money they have their own law," said Francisco Hervias.
