Let us look at some of the prominent names in the retail industry which are likely to benefit from Black Friday.
Even as Amazon (AMZN) celebrates Black Friday with huge discounts, there have been reports that Amazon warehouse workers across 40 countries plan to protest or walk out to demand better wages and working conditions on Black Friday.
