Same happened in Germany at 6 Amazon logistic sites at Oct 31, one of the biggest german holidays. https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Verdi-ruft-an-drei-d...

They even have their own website: https://www.amazon-verdi.de/

What effort people take to work at an obviously toxic company... the job market must be really bad.

it is pretty bad. People have to take those jobs or be unemployed and get so called sanctions (=less money) by the unemployment office.

There is no general labour shortage in germany right now. 2 million foreigners are getting unemployment payments right now, which is ~1.000 Euros per month (housing included). In addition, 7 million german people are out of work.

All in all i guess we have ~10 million people waiting in lines for more work or work at all.
