LONDON (Reuters) -Amazon staff at a warehouse in Coventry in central England are willing to strike over pay, a union said on Friday, in the latest labour dispute involving the U.S. e-commerce giant's British workers.

More than 300 workers voted in a consultative ballot - where 97% said they were ready to strike - ahead of a possible formal vote on whether to carry out a strike, the GMB union said.
