Amazon workers in Germany and France stopped working on Black Friday, as part of a move across the world to target the online retailer on one of the busiest shopping days of the year with calls for better pay.
Key points:
Make Amazon Pay strikes are planned in more than 30 countries
One German worker says with the current pay people "can no longer live in these times"
Unions are calling for Black Friday bonuses for workers
The Make Amazon Pay initiative, which called for the strikes, said industrial action was planned in more than 30 countries, including the United States.
In Germany, there were demonstrations at nine of Amazon's 20 warehouses, although on Friday morning the company said most employees in Germany were working as normal.
Workers at a warehouse in the western city of Koblenz were seen standing outside near a red-and-white banner that read "We're on strike" in German, French and English.
