# 영어 말문트기의 일환으로 영문기사를 같이 읽어보는 시간입니다.
# 해당 내용은 오성호 선생님의 영어강의를 바탕으로 합니다. 개인 공부차원에서 기록하고 혹시나 개중 표현이 도움이 되었으면 하는 마음으로 포스팅합니다.

# Amazon workers walked out at a warehouse in central England on Wednesday. It comes after a months-long dispute over pay. It's the first time Amazon's operations have faced strike action in Britain. The GMB trade union expects about 300 employees to take part in Wednesday's walkout in Coventry.

* just to get by 그냥 살아가는 것
* struggling to pay the bills
# Last year, Amazon raised starting pay by 50 pence to a maximum of £11.45 per hour - or just over $14. Nicholas Henderson is an Amazon worker. He wants further talks to raise wages as inflation soars in the UK. ''Because of the cost of living going up, we are basically on the breadline. So minimum pay is going to, what, £10.42 in April. We are £10.50, so the time you add in your rent, your mortgage, your food, your bills, you've basically got nothing left. So hopefully this can get the head office to talk to us."
* starting pay 초봉
* 급등 jump soar surge

# Staff in many crucial sectors have gone on strike in the UK for better pay, with nurses and rail workers among those to walk out. Amazon employs thousands of workers across 30 warehouses in the country. It has said its pay is competitive.
* staff = workers
* better pay = higher pay
* 총직원은 = employ를 동사로 활용
