UNI Global Union said Amazon would face strikes and protests in more than 30 countries around the world, including the United States, as part of a "Make Amazon Pay" campaign. «Workers know that it doesn't matter what country you're in or what your job title is. We are all united in the fight for higher wages, an end to unreasonable quotas and a voice on the job,» said Christy Hoffman, general secretary of UNI Global Union. «That's what workers in Coventry are striking for and that is why workers around the world are standing up to Make Amazon Pay,» Hoffman said.

Djokovic said he confronted British fans because of their «disrespect» after Serbia beat Great Britain in the Davis Cup last eight on Thursday. The world number one guided Serbia to a 2-0 win by beating Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4 in the second singles rubber but then told a group of British fans to «learn how to behave» afterwards. Djokovic was enraged as some fans tried to drown out his victory speech with drums, which the superstar said he felt he had to respond to. «The entire match pretty much, there was disrespect but it's something I have to be prepared for in the Davis Cup,» Djokovic, 36, told reporters. «It's normal that fans step over the line and in the heat of the moment you react too and in a way show that you don't allow this kind of behaviour. »They can do whatever they want but I'm going to respond to that." During the match record 24-time Grand Slam winner Djokovic was annoyed by the same fans causing a disturbance and cupped his hand to his ear after winning a point in the second set. However his temper boiled over when they would not allow him to speak undisturbed after his convincing victory. «I was trying to talk and they purposely started to play the drums, to not let me talk,» he said. «They were trying to annoy me the entire match, so we had a little bit of a chat in the end.» Djokovic's victory pits him on a collision course with Italy's Jannik Sinner, whom he beat on Sunday in the ATP Finals to clinch his seventh title of the season. Sinner beat Djokovic in the group stage of that competition and the pair are set to meet again when Italy face Serbia in the Davis Cup semi-finals on Saturday. «Third time in a bit more than a week, it's gonna be great for tennis fans and for both Italian
