Union leaders in Germany reported that about 700 Amazon.com Inc. warehouse workers walked off their jobs on May 15, 2013 in a protest focused on wages. Amazon employs 2,000 workers at a warehouse in Leipzig, where 500 workers went on a one-day strike, while workers from two warehouses in Bad Hersfeld also participated. The union is challenging the company to negotiate to reach a collective wage agreement with workers. The union is pushing for wages that acknowledge their role in a retail company. But Amazon reported that makes no sense.
