Amazon stands to lose business worth £500,000 and counting as support grows for drive to secure living wage for workers
The anti-Amazon campaign group Amazon Anonymous says that more than 2,000 people have pledged not to shop at the online retailer this Christmas, just one day after it launched its latest drive.
The campaigners are asking supporters to avoid shopping at Amazon from 1-25 December, because “Christmas is Amazon’s busiest time of year – and it’s also our best chance to disrupt their business”.
“They don’t pay their workers a living wage,” claim Amazon Anonymous in their appeal to join the Amazon-free challenge, which launched on Tuesday. “They dodge their tax. They take money away from our local shops. So this year, let’s take our money away from them.”
