LONDON (Reuters) -More than 1,000 workers at an Amazon warehouse in Britain will strike for four days next month, including on the typically busy Black Friday shopping day, the GMB trade union said on Tuesday.

GMB said the workers would walk out of the site in Coventry, central England from Nov. 7-9, as well as on Nov. 24, Black Friday, in a long-running dispute over pay which has resulted in multiple walk-outs so far this year.

In response to a request for comment, Amazon UK Country Manager John Boumphrey said the company offered competitive wages and benefits.
