BERLIN/DUESSELDORF: Hundreds of Amazon.com Inc workers in Germany went on strike on Monday, just as pre-Christmas sales were set to peak, in a dispute over pay and conditions that has raged for months.
Germany is Amazon's second-biggest market behind the United States and sales there grew almost 21% in 2012 to US$8.7bil (RM28.17bil), a third of its overseas total. Amazon took its most daily orders in Germany last Dec 16, when almost 4 million articles were bought, with shipments peaking on Dec 17.
