German labour union Verdi is preparing more strikes to step up pressure on Amazon, the world's biggest Internet retailer, in a dispute over pay and conditions, a newspaper reported. "Further strikes are to be expected," Welt am Sonntag quoted Verdi board member Stefanie Nutzenberger as saying in an excerpt of an interview to be published on Sunday. The union has organised several short strikes this year in a bid to force Amazon to accept a collective agreement on employment conditions similar to deals for the mail order and retail sector, which are more generous than for the logistics sector. Amazon regards staff in Bad Hersfeld and Leipzig as logistics workers and says they receive above-average pay by the standards of that industry.
