GMB union members in Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire are to be balloted for strikes over pay
Members are calling for a pay rise from £10.50 to £15 an hour.
An Amazon spokesperson said: "Over the past seven months, our minimum pay has risen by 10% and by more than 37% since 2018. "We also work hard to provide great benefits, a positive work environment and excellent career opportunities."Amanda Gearing, GMB senior organiser, said: "This escalation will see workers in two further fulfilment centres asked to have their say on downing tools and walking out to deliver pay justice.
"We've already seen enormous enthusiasm from workers at Mansfield and Rugeley to take action, now it'll be up to them how their union moves forward with the campaign."
