I'm guessing you are in a union - because otherwise, striking is not legal. There should be some guidance in your union handbook though, if you are in a union. 

There's also government information here - https://www.gov.uk/industrial-action-strikes

Striking about working conditions, if you are a member of a union, is perfectly legal. Bear in mind that a trade union can only call for industrial action if a majority of its members involved support it.

What union are the Amazon strikers in then?

Any one they choose to join.

With a very few exceptions, everybody has the right to join a union. It does not have to be "recognised" by the employer but even if it is not the employee still has the rights given to union members in employment law.
