The GMB union is organising protests outside five Amazon warehouses today, to highlight what they call "inhuman" working conditions at the retail giant.

It comes on one of the year's busiest periods for Amazon, with Black Friday shopping reaching a peak for many companies today.

Protests will be held outside the company's warehouses in Rugeley, Peterborough, Milton Keynes, Warrington, and Swansea.
