Many Americans could be in trouble this Christmas. 

Amazon workers across a number of facilities in New York, Illinois, and Southern California are gearing up to strike later this week. 

The strike would take place the week before and during Christmas and Hanukkah, the two biggest gift giving holidays in the US. 

US Correspondent Toni Waterman told Andrew Dickens the workers are calling for better wages, benefits, and working conditions.  

She says they’re currently at a bit of a stalemate, as Amazon is refusing to recognise the union representing the workers.
